A little piece of the ocean for your jewellery collection! These vintage shell clip-on earrings have a beautiful starfish or five-petal flower design, with each elongated aspect gently curved and raised towards a central point. The natural shell has been resin coated, giving the surface a lovely polished finish with soft iridescent tones of smoky lavender, silvery grey, dusky pink and warm bronze. Darker edges outline each pointed detail, adding definition to the sculptural design. Their compact size makes them a delightful alternative to traditional round clip-on earrings, with the added pleasure of natural shell colouring that varies slightly between the two.

Try these with a sea-glass green linen blouse or a coral vintage dress for a lovely coastal colour combination. Equally fabulous with a chocolate brown silk top, a favourite floral kimono or a soft lavender knit. A short hairstyle or hair tucked behind the ears will show off the unusual shape beautifully.
