You’ll love the fine detail of these Sterling Silver Tiny Cowry Stud Earrings. Intricate ridges follow the curve of each shell in perfect unison, like the waves on the sea. These versatile earrings are great styled with everything from jeans to cocktail dresses.

Tiny Cowries

Cowries are coveted around the world, both in ancient cultures as money and adornment, and by collectors and ocean lovers in modern day. This particular diminutive, ridged cowry is actually a type of Allied Cowry, also called a trivia shell, and is a close relative of cowries. Amazingly, these little shells are full adult size! Trivias like these are found in a number of places around the world, including Hawaii; Hawaiian trivias only reach a maximum size of 5mm.

Details

Our Sterling Silver Tiny Cowry Stud Earrings feature a little sterling silver cowry hand-soldered onto sterling silver posts. These rare cowries are found empty in the sand; we never take things alive from the sea. After making molds from the intricately detailed little shells we make wax copies, cast them low-tarnish sterling silver, and finally grind, file, solder and polished.

  • Sterling silver shells and posts
