This unique sea turtle ear cuff combines a carved rock quartz bead with genuine green and blue abalone shell for a dangle cartilage earring that does not require any piercings. You simply place it on the top of your ear & slide the cuff down to the middle of the ear above the lobe. Great way to wear a part of the ocean every day! The stone turtle is 23 mm (a bit under 1 inch) long, and the entire earring dangles 46 mm (almost 2 inches) from the sterling silver cuff. It weighs 7 grams (1/4 ounce), and all metals are sterling silver. Your cuff will be similar to the one shown. Almost every dangle earring on my website can be made as an ear cuff, in silver plate, gold plate or sterling silver. Please contact me if you have a request!
