Ocean's Whisper - Oval - Abalone Mother of Pearl Dangle Earrings - Iridescent - Small
Abalone pearls, renowned for their vibrant colors, are naturally found in the rocky coastal waters of Mexico. Known to attain impressive sizes, these pearls are unique in that they cannot be cultured, making each one a rare and natural treasure.
These pieces are mounted on alpaca, a combination of copper, nickel and occasionally other metals such as zinc, tin, lead or cadmium.
In Mexico, alpaca is frequently used to make jewelry and crafts. It is incredibly durable and malleable, allowing itself to be shaped into detailed pieces while being strong enough to hold its shape.
The end products can be beautiful, but people with nickel allergies should refrain from wearing alpaca jewelry to avoid potential breakouts.
