Nautilus Shell Clip On Earrings

This non-pierced earrings begin with a sterling silver simple ball and loop clip. Designed and handcrafted in California by a highly skilled artisan using fine braided wire and kiln-fired enamel, these clip-on earrings feature a realistic representation of a Nautilus. They are 1 and 1/8 inches (29mm) long and 7/16 inch (11mm) across at their widest point. Nautilus is the Greek word for "sailor" and a common name of marine creatures of the cephalopod family. The Nautilus shell is one of the finest examples of a natural spiral and is admired worldwide as an object of special beauty. Bamboo Jewelry gives these unique works-of-art their shine by blending many colors to show 3-dimensional contours and realistic shading. Clear enamel prevents tarnishing. As an added bonus they come packaged in a handmade, laser engraved bamboo gift box with a card noting interesting facts about the Nautilus and the earring's designer.
