Priestess Duster Earrings

Handcrafted shoulder duster style pearl earrings. 

What truly distinguishes pearls is their organic origin - similar in nature only to red corals. These radiant gems take form within the shells of molluscs, such as oysters and mussels, as they covertly layer nacre around an intruder such as a grain of sand or bacteria. This natural process gives rise to the lustrous and iridescent pearls that have captivated humankind for generations. In contrast to gemstones typically mined from the Earth, pearls are a creation of the ocean, formed through a fascinating interplay between living organisms and the forces of nature.
