    Description

    The Victorians loved this odd natural treasure from the sea. Mesmerized by symbolism and lore, they believed many objects and materials contained special powers to heal and influence their owners. Operculum was no exception. They likened the look of an operculum shell to a cat's eye or a protective eye. Jewelry with operculum shells was worn to protect against being cursed by the evil eye.
    These intriguing yet simple Victorian earrings made of sea snail shell operculum (the "trap door" of a univalve) set in yellow gold-plated metal. The shells are securely set in claw like settings with
    non-piercing
    screw backs.
    Size approximately 16mm x 15mm oval
    Stamped: No
    Gross weight 6.1 grams
