Silver and Gold Mussel Clip On Earrings
Description
Large silver mussel shell earrings adorned with gold-plated brass elements.
This collection takes us back to the beachcombing days of our childhood, when every rock hid a treasure for our wide-eyed wonder. We roam the mysterious shoreline, our hearts full of adventure and our nets brimming with hope. Inspired by family outings to the coves of northern Italy, these jewels are the product of a fertile and wonderful imagination that has been passed down from the Amaddeo children to their own children. The corals are a stage where the dance of scales and the iridescence of shells transform them into an underwater kingdom, every bit as enchanting as the heavens above. As their grandfather used to say, ‘if the stars only shine at night, it is because they reflect the dreams of those at the bottom of the sea, who dream of flying away when they are asleep’.

About Les Néréides
Our Expertise
Each piece of jewelry is born from a design straight from the imagination of the creators. As in fine jewelry, the pieces are “gouached”. The jewelry is then manufactured and subtly painted by hand using the enamelling technique. Each floral or animal detail is colored with a brush with great subtlety in the choice of colors. A meticulous task, where every detail is the result of the handwork of an artisan. Through this work on gesture, each piece is unique.
