Details

The three shell variants are carved from distinct oyster species — not colorways of the same shell. White lip oyster produces a luminous white-to-cream iridescence. Black lip oyster, the same species used for Tahitian black pearls, produces a deep charcoal with green and silver undertones. Winged oyster produces a warm amber-brown with cream veining. The silver crucifix is mounted — not glued — onto the shell face, sitting raised above the surface to create a layered relief between the flat cross form and the natural depth of the shell behind it. Shell is naturally porous and lighter than stone or metal of equivalent size — at 3.5 grams per pair these wear without pull on the lobe despite the 17mm width of the cross form. Each natural shell component is inspected by our in-house gemologist. Independent certification is available upon request.

Instructions
  • Avoid contact with hard surfaces to prevent chipping the natural shell.
  • Store in a soft pouch when not in use to protect the natural shell surface and prevent the fish hook from bending.

Three natural shell colorways — white lip oyster, Tahitian black lip oyster, and warm winged oyster — each carved from a distinct mollusk species with its own iridescence and tone.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get these earrings delivered today in Dubai?

Yes — same-day delivery is available across Dubai when you order before 3 PM. These earrings ship directly from our studio on Sheikh Zayed Road, opposite the Museum of the Future. WhatsApp us on +971 52 220 0582 to confirm your slot or arrange gift wrapping before dispatch.

Is the shell genuine and will each pair look exactly like the photo?

Yes — all three colorways are carved from genuine natural shell: white lip oyster, Tahitian black lip oyster, and winged oyster. Each species produces its own iridescent tone — the white is luminous and shifts between pearl-white and faint gold, the black reads as deep charcoal with subtle green and silver tones, and the brown carries warm amber and cream. Because no two shells are identical, slight variation in iridescence pattern and carving line between pairs is expected and confirms authenticity. Note: due to the organic nature of Mother of Pearl, slight variations in color tone and carving shape are to be expected and cherished. Each natural shell component is inspected by our in-house gemologist. Independent certification is available upon request.

Which colorway should I choose and how do I style them?

The white lip oyster suits cooler and neutral skin tones and reads well against white, cream, and black necklines — the classic choice for formal and religious occasions. The Tahitian black is the most versatile — it reads as a contemporary accent against any outfit without announcing itself as a faith piece specifically. The warm winged oyster suits olive and warm skin tones and pairs naturally with earth tones, camel, and linen. All three wear as drop earrings that move freely with the fish hook — wear hair up or pulled back to let the full cross hang visible against the neck.
