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 paired with carnelian cabochons—warm at the centre, set in 18k gold-plated sterling silver.
Shell diameter is 3 cm; sundial shells are also available in 2.5 cm or 3.5 cm. Clips or studs are available on request.
DESIGN & SILHOUETTE
SALINA is built on clarity: shell as a calm surface, cabochon as a focused point. The result feels graphic and grown-up—intentional rather than decorative.
MATERIALS & CHARACTER
Sundial shells bring natural structure, while the gold rim draws a crisp outline. Carnelian stays composed as a cabochon—warm in tone, more colour than sparkle. In the SALINA earclips sundial shells, the contrast is deliberate: maritime material, a clear centre, and a warm gold frame holding it together.
ARTIST’S NOTE
“Studio note: nature as surface—carnelian as point. The rest is proportion.”
STYLING INSPIRATION
Strong with white, black, sand or denim: the gold rim reads like a fine line, while carnelian adds warmth on the skin. At 3 cm, the piece is present yet clean—best with smooth fabrics and sharp lines.
Keep jewellery minimal—slim gold bands or a quiet necklace—so the sundial shell stays the focus.
