Scallop Shell Variants

Wild Bryde produced these scarce earrings with fine photo-etched fan ribs that follow the precise, symmetrical fluting of a natural scallop shell. Unlike most sedentary bivalves, living scallops clap their valves together to swim through shallow coastal waters, and that light, buoyant quality translates well to thin metal jewelry. The piece comes in gold or silver-rhodium plating, where subtle texture variations give each finish a slightly different surface feel.
