Mussels gathered from the New Jersey coastline, preserved as brass castings that capture their sculptural forms. Each casting is paired with a slab of abalone chosen to echo the iridescent depth of a mussel’s interior — blues, greens, and pearlescent pinks layered to mirror the shell’s natural luster.
Finished with sterling silver earring posts for durability and comfort, these earrings celebrate coastal materials and workmanship. The result is jewelry that honors the mussel’s original beauty while transforming it into a wearable memory of the shore.
