Description
Long Earrings
These elegant long earrings feature a slender rhombus-shaped frame filled with shimmering abalone shell.
Made from ethically sourced abalone shell set in Alpaca Silver* and suspended from silver-plated hooks, they combine striking natural colours with a contemporary design.
The abalone shell is a by-product of the abalone fishing industry, which is strictly regulated in Mexico and only permitted at certain times of the year. Fishing is carried out by authorised co-operatives that have been voluntarily established to help improve the sustainability of the species.
Made on a fair trade basis in Mexico, these earrings are handcrafted by people, not machines.
Colours may differ from those shown, and the two earrings in each pair may not be perfectly identical. These small variations are part of their handmade character.

About Alpaca Silver*
*Alpaca Silver is an alloy of copper, nickel, zinc and iron. Also known as German Silver, New Silver or Nickel Silver, it has a long history of use around the world.
While Alpaca Silver is generally considered safe for most people, anyone with a particular sensitivity to nickel should avoid prolonged skin contact, such as sleeping while wearing the earrings.

How long are these Long Earrings?
These Long Earrings have an approximate drop of 5cm, making them an elegant statement piece while remaining lightweight enough for everyday wear.
Is the abalone shell sustainably sourced?
Yes. The abalone shell is sourced as a by-product of the carefully regulated Mexican abalone fishing industry. Fishing is only permitted at certain times of the year and is carried out by authorised co-operatives working to improve the sustainability of the species.
What is Alpaca Silver?
Alpaca Silver is an alloy of copper, nickel, zinc and iron. It is sometimes known as German Silver, New Silver or Nickel Silver.
Will my earrings look exactly like the photographs?
No. Abalone shell is a natural material, so colours and patterns vary from piece to piece. As each pair is handmade, the two earrings may not be perfectly identical, making every pair unique.
Are these earrings suitable for people with nickel allergies?
The silver-plated hooks are nickel-free, but the Alpaca Silver pendants contain nickel. While Alpaca Silver is generally well tolerated, anyone with a known nickel sensitivity should avoid prolonged skin contact, such as sleeping while wearing the earrings.
Where are these Long Earrings made?
These Long Earrings are handcrafted in Taxco, Mexico on a fair trade basis by skilled artisans.
