Description
Dentalium – Pink Peach 4 Tears Earrings are a dramatic expression of movement, color, and tradition. Slender dentalium shells form the flowing 7.5-inch drop, accented with pink, peach, white, silver, and clear crystal tones. The design incorporates a metal base with seed beads, tube beads, glass beads, silver beads, faceted beads, and delicate glass butterfly beads, all carefully handwoven using durable Nymo thread and finished with surgical steel components. The 1 × 7.5-inch silhouette offers graceful motion and bold presence while maintaining balance and elegance.
In Native American traditions, Dentalium — or tusk shells — are small tubular mollusk shells historically harvested from the Pacific Northwest, particularly around Vancouver Island. Highly valued and widely traded among Indigenous peoples across America, they symbolized wealth, status, and beauty. Dentalium shells were often used to adorn dresses, necklaces, earrings, and ceremonial regalia, reflecting prosperity and cultural significance.
The flowing “tear” design evokes themes of movement, renewal, and emotional expression, while the soft pink and peach palette brings warmth, gentleness, and harmony to the piece. Together, the elements create a statement design rich in tradition and contemporary artistry.
Dentalium – Pink Peach 4 Tears honor heritage, craftsmanship, and enduring symbolism through a bold yet graceful silhouette.
