Natural abalone earrings, with long shells topped off with peacock pearls and sapphire blue crystal Swarovski Elements. You will be making a statement with these ocean dangles! Genuine abalone shell is iridescent, and will give off different colours depending on the lighting and the angle. These sea shells have a lot of blue, and even some yellow and pink, but also show a fair amount of green from some angles. The earrings hang nearly 2 1/2 inches (6.1 cm) from the bottom of the sterling silver lever backs, so they are large. They can be switched to regular sterling hooks or surgical steel hooks or lever backs (for people with metal allergies) at no additional cost. The wrapped wire is also genuine .925 sterling silver.
