This pair of dentalium earrings feature unique metal bead tubes in the center as well as a matching metal bead, emulating an industrial steel look. I’ve spent a lot of time in the city and wanted to express that here in this set. Consider me inspired by the black leather jackets and industrial steel structures.
Dentalium shells (also called tusk shells) have been used for hundreds of years as currency and decoration for traditional indigenous and non-indigenous clothing and Western designs. They are typically white and shaped like elephant tusks and worn in a variety of garments and jewelry designs as a symbol of wealth, health and community connection.
Approximately 3 1/5’’ (3.5) in length
Since shell is a natural material and beads are photographed inside, colors will vary.
