"Sazae" Turban shell hoop earrings

These hoop earrings are made from the polished Sazae turban shell. The regularity of the spiral pattern is a beautiful natural sculpture created as the Sazae turban shell grows. No matter the shell, every single one reveals the same accurate spiral pattern when shaved. The back is left untouched to preserve the expression of the Turban shells that we all know.

The K18 hoop is an original design made by shaping square wire rods into a round shape by hand. The tip of the hoop has been flattened to prevent it from falling off. You can also pull them out and use them as hoops by themselves.

*Each pair of these earrings has a different shape and size. When you place your order, we will show you the available pairs, so you can choose the pair you want.

Izu’s oceans have extremely rapid tides, which make some fishing grounds difficult to access. There, Turban shells bigger than one’s hand can be found.
