Viv Tortoiseshell Pearl Earrings

Viv Tortoiseshell Pearl Earrings | ~2" long from base of hook

Statement-making tortoiseshell earrings featuring vintage glass beads and freshwater pearls, hand-wrapped on hypoallergenic gold-plated copper wire. These oval drop earrings bring bold, wearable texture to everyday and elevated looks alike.

The Story

These beautiful vintage glass tortoiseshell beads were gifted to me by a woman who owns a vintage boutique here in Santa Rosa. She saw me browsing the loose beads and asked what my craft was and we were quickly chatting away about making and repairing jewelry. She shared her story with me, her favorite tools, tips and tricks, and was quick to offer advice from a fellow small business owner. That's what I love about the makers community - the willingness to help, share, and support. These beads were gifted from one successful business owner to someone just starting out and represent that spirit of giving freely.

The Details

• Vintage tortoiseshell glass beads in deep amber and chocolate pattern
• Lustrous freshwater pearl accent at the top
• Individually wire-wrapped
• Hypoallergenic, tarnish resistant copper wire
• Part of the Reclaimed collection - sourced from rescued and thrifted pearl lots
• Pattern and tone vary slightly bead to bead and pearl to pear - no two pairs are identical

The Vibe

Effortless, warm-toned, and a little wild. The Viv Earrings move easily from market mornings to lunch with friends or dinner reservations. Animal print energy without trying too hard.

As with all Monkey Flower pieces, natural and vintage materials mean each bead is one-of-a-kind. Slight variations in pattern, tone, and shape are part of the charm, not a flaw.
