These earrings are made from brass, cast Lucina Clam Shells and they are accented by white shells my dad collected on the beaches in Panama.  Each pair of these earrings is one of a kind, and each piece of shell was carefully collected and hand-drilled.  Finished with gold filled posts.

My dad is a huge inspiration to my creative life.  He was a carpenter while I grew up and could make anything with his hands. I also get my love of shell collecting from him.  Now he travels all over the world for work, and collects rocks and shells for me wherever he goes.  Every once in a while, he sends me a crazy box full of weird, sentimental sea life from all over the world.
