Victorian Shell Form Dormeuse Earrings
in 14k Gold
* * SOLD * *



A wonderful pair of Victorian-era, shell-form earrings, modeled in 14k rosy yellow gold. These voluptuous little shells are sleek and elongated, their seven gradating rays emanate from the round base of each shell. Their ear wires are precisely-made, hinged, back-to-front threaders that catch inside the earrings' back plate. We love these earrings for their time-softened, buttery finish, their easy-wearing, goes-with-anything vibe, and their connection to the sea.
