Our teardrop shaped drop earrings with a Pieris Mariposa (cabbage white butterfly) design include smooth, natural and sustainable abalone shell - see below. They dangle beautifully and the contrast between the dark background and shimmering butterfly, with its delicate antennae, is really lovely. Large and dramatic, they make a stand-out impression with all of our gorgeous hippy clothes. The simple colour scheme keeps thing elegant. Please note all earrings and ear studs are not returnable due to hygiene reasons. Size:Width - 1.5cmLength - 3cm Alpaca metal alloy and silver plated hooks Made in Mexico The abalone shell in our earrings comes from the Mexican state of Baja California on the Pacific coast and is a by product of the abalone fishing industry. It does not come from California in the USA where populations of abalone have been overfished.
