The oyster shapes were fabricated and formed by hand with silver wire and finished to a smooth, high shine finish. It is a labor intensive and time consuming process, but the unique end result is stunning. The double Oyster Earrings design has a two-part system for the post and clutch. The clutch has an internal spring mechanism that sits into the post grooves, creating a secure grip. To release the clutch, gently squeeze the side tabs in and the clutch will easily slide off of the post.
