I hand fabricate the sterling silver saddle settings for these abalone shell teardrops, leaving the shell’s swirling patterns on full display. Flashes of blue, green, and violet shift as the earrings move in the light. Each teardrop has a pattern of its own, and the sterling silver leverbacks close securely.

I live and work in a rural area of the Eastern Sierra. Most orders ship in about one week via the United States Postal Service (USPS). If you choose UPS at checkout, your order will typically ship in 1–2 business days, as UPS picks up directly from my studio. Winter weather may occasionally delay shipping or delivery. These estimates refer to when your order ships; delivery time is additional.
