***** DON'T FORGET TO CHECK OUT MY SALE! *****
These delicate shells make beautiful, lightweight, easy to wear earrings.
The folklore and legends surrounding many gemstones fascinate me, so I am very drawn to these natural shell gemstones with their spiral pattern and string of romantic names.
Who can resist the protection of a God, or the contents of a mermaid's purse?

Full description
Each of these dainty drop earrings features a 10x8mm Shiva Eye Shell bead, topped with a trio of 4mm and 3mm yellow Austrian crystal bicones between a pair of 2mm gold vermeil beads.
The beads are threaded onto gold vermeil pins and hung from gold vermeil ear-wires.
Gold vermeil is sterling silver that has been plated with 18k gold.
Shiva Eye shell is steeped in folklore,
The shell forms a protective 'door' at the opening of the Turban Snail shell, which detaches at the end of the snails life and falls to the sea bed.
They are most common in the beaches and shallow waters of Indonesia and Thailand, but are also found all over the world.
Around Indonesia it is known as 'Shiva Eye', a symbol of the God Shiva's third eye. As such it is seen as a sacred object of spiritual awakening and enlightenment.
As with most 'eyes', it is believed to protect the wearer and ward off evil.
Other names for this beautiful piece of natural geometry are 'Pacific cat's eye', 'mermaid's money', 'the eye of Naxos' and 'tears of Lucy'.
Hand crafted (by me!) in my home workshop here in beautiful Devon, UK, this would make a beautiful gift for Christmas, a birthday, anniversary, Mother's day or as a well deserved treat for yourself.
This bracelet measures approximately 7 inches (18cm) - please contact me if you want it re-sized.
Your bracelet will be wrapped in tissue and presented in a small organza gift bag.
Price includes delivery within mainland UK.
