We currently are experiencing housing insecurity in Hawaii and are looking for a long-term rental for a single woman and her cat. Like so many other working-class residents, if I am unable to find affordable longterm housing, I will have to leave Big Island. If you know of any opportunities within a 30 minute driving distance of our studio, please let us know!

Kupe'e Earrings

$140.00 $0.00
Shipping calculated at checkout.

Kupe'e are edible mollusks whose shells are prized for their use in ceremonial lei.  The distinctive spiral pattern that appears on the side of each shell symbolizes the infinite and the interconnectedness between us.

Each kupe'e shell is hand-sawn from solid heavy gauge recycled Sterling silver sheet, lending it a graphic quality.  Earrings are depletion gilded and finished with a Sterling ear wire or 14K gold post.

Choose post or wire.  Posts sit flush against the ear, giving the appearance of an inch-high hoop earring from the front, while revealing the spiral pattern on the side.  Wires seem to organically grow from the shell itself, and are about 2 1/4" long.

Matching pendant available HERE.
