Description
THE PIECE
The SALINA earclips sundial shells are a one-of-a-kind piece with clean maritime presence: sundial shells with a gold rim form the calm surface, while peridot cabochons create a precise green centre—set in 18k gold-plated sterling silver.
Shell diameter is 3 cm. Sundial shells are also available in 2.5 cm, 3 cm or 3.5 cm. Clips or studs are available on request.
DESIGN & SILHOUETTE
SALINA is built on clarity: shell as surface, cabochon as point. The gold rim sharpens the outline, keeping the look graphic and grown-up—intentional, not decorative.
At 3 cm, it feels present yet controlled: more object than ornament, with a calm confidence that still reads instantly.
MATERIALS & CHARACTER
Sundial shells bring natural pattern and texture; the gold rim draws a crisp line around the form. Peridot sits as a cabochon at the centre—smooth, composed, and precise. In the SALINA earclips sundial shells, the contrast is deliberate: maritime surface, a focused colour core, and warm gold plating holding it together.
Three micro details define the piece: the gold-rimmed shell disc, the peridot cabochon point, and the 18k gold-plated sterling silver setting that frames the composition.
ARTIST’S NOTE
“Studio note: nature as surface—peridot as point. The rest is proportion.”
STYLING INSPIRATION
Strong with white, black, sand, cream or denim: the gold rim reads like a fine line, while peridot adds colour without noise. Best with smooth fabrics and clean tailoring.
Keep jewellery minimal—slim gold bands or a quiet necklace—so the shell shape stays in focus.
