Abalone, Brown Pearl and Tourmaline Gold-Filled Dangle Earrings
A little treasure from the tide line at each ear. A diamond of abalone shell flashes green, blue and violet at the top, followed by a sparkling clear quartz bead, a long brown freshwater rice pearl, and a tiny tourmaline teardrop swinging at the very end. Every piece is wire-wrapped by hand in gold-filled wire and linked with gold-filled rings.
At 3" long they move with you, catch the light from every side, and look like nothing anyone else is wearing.

Abalone, Pearl, Quartz and Tourmaline Meaning: Gifts of the Sea
Abalone is the sea goddess's shell, carried for centuries as a keeper of calm, intuition and the soft strength of water. Pearls are born in the dark and come out glowing, a symbol of the wisdom we earn by growing through hard things.
Clear quartz amplifies whatever you bring to it, and tourmaline is a stone of the heart and of protection, guarding your energy while you open up to the world.
Wear them for the woman who feels most like herself near water, and who has learned that her softness is a strength.

How to Wear Them
Hair up or tucked back so they can swing. They're a statement on their own with a simple tank or a linen dress, and they look right at home at the beach, a festival or a dinner out.
Natural Variation
Every abalone shell has its own flash of color, every pearl its own shape and every tourmaline its own shade, so your pair will be uniquely yours.
About the photos: The photo on a white background is an actual photograph of these earrings. The photos of them worn and styled on wood are AI-created to show how they look, and colors in those may differ a little from the real pair.
Jewelry Care
Take them off before swimming, showering or exercising, and put them on after lotion and perfume. Abalone and pearls are soft and sensitive to water and chemicals, so wipe them gently with a soft, dry cloth and store the pair flat on its own so the shell and pearls don't get scratched.
