*Portals to the Brine • Gemstone Oyster Shell Drop Dangle Earrings

Portals to the Brine
Fringe Tide Collection – Statement Earrings

A glimpse into the sea’s hidden chambers, Portals to the Brine are long, handcrafted sterling silver drop earrings that celebrate the raw beauty of nature refined through artistry. At their core lie miniature oyster shells, naturally worn by the tides to reveal delicate bore holes—each one a tide-carved portal holding a secret.

Nestled within these openings are sparkling gemstones: deep London blue topaz, vibrant green sapphire, and fiery orange padparadscha sapphire. Each stone is tube-set into the shell, gleaming like treasures hidden just beneath the surface. The shells are held in swirling silver prongs, mimicking the shell’s natural curves and the fluid motion of water.

From the base of each earring, a sterling silver fringe tassel sways gently—adding shimmer, movement, and a sense of ocean rhythm to every step.

Elegant, elemental, and quietly powerful, these earrings are a tribute to the brine-born beauty of the sea—where erosion becomes adornment, and every opening reveals something rare.

Seashell Disclaimer: Please be mindful that these are REAL shells which mean that they are delicate and could break if worn or handled aggressively. The Dwelling Gem is not responsible if you break the seashell while wearing or handling it. Any piece of jewelry with a real shell was consciously made so that the possibility of the shell being in harms way would be minimal but please, if you purchase a shelled jewel be delicate with them and conscious of the fact that you're wearing a real seashell.
