Small and neat but brilliantly colourful, these lovely little circle earrings are made from Mexican abalone shell. See below for the details. They come with a classic off-centre hoop shape carefully set with real shell in iridescent shades of green and purple, in swirly patterns. Because it's a wholly natural material every pair is unique. Add some subtle drama to your life with these beautiful danglies, wearing both in one ear if you like. Please note all earrings and ear studs are not returnable due to hygiene reasons. Size:1cm x 1cm approx. 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.
