White South Sea mother-of-pearl is the classic form of shell iridescence - the luminous white surface with its characteristic orient, the soft play of light that shifts between white, cream, and pale pink as the viewing angle changes. In these dangle earrings at 2 5/16" long, the white mother-of-pearl shell is paired with 0.16ctw cubic zirconia accents in rhodium over sterling silver, the cool white metal amplifying the cool luminosity of the shell. Fish hook closure. The length gives the earring movement that reveals the mother-of-pearl's changing surface from moment to moment. White mother-of-pearl is more versatile than its black counterpart - it works with almost every outfit color without the dramatic contrast demands of the black version - while retaining the organic depth that makes shell materials compelling. A refined, contemporary dangle at an accessible price.
