Mother of pearl Tribal Shell Earring made from the inner lining of different mollusc shells, pearl oysters, freshwater pearl mussels and abalone. As a result, the iridescent inner lining of the mollusc, called nacre, protects from parasites and bacteria. They create this inner lining in the same way they create pearls.

Carving is the act of using tools to shape an ear stretcher from horn by scraping away portions of that material. Our technique can be applied to any material that is solid enough (we normally use bone, horn or wood). To hold a form even when pieces have been removed from it, and yet be soft enough for portions to be scraped away with available tools. Carving tends to require much more work than methods using malleable materials.

We called these earrings Inca Moon, since it represents for us the Mayan culture. The Inca Empire, also known as the Incan Empire and the Inka Empire. They were the largest empire in pre-Columbian America, and possibly the largest empire in the early 16th-century worldwide.

The size of this pair is 4.3 cm long by 3.5 cm wide. It is very light weigh only 7.2 grams for the pair. There is not much to say about this pair; the photos speak for themselves. It is an absolutely stunning pair of earrings.

Our jewelry based on the tribal culture, where the tribe people used to wear similar products that are handmade.
