Purple Spiny Oyster Shell Triangle Post Earrings by Judith Dixon, Navajo

These triangle Purple Spiny Oyster Shells are set in a sleek sterling silver bezel and adorned with a twisted sterling silver rope detail, all handcrafted by Navajo artist Judith Dixon. The post of this earring is located near the top of the earrings.

According to research, spiny oysters are found buried at deep depths or attached to rocky reefs. The deeper they dig, the darker the pigment of the oyster shell which is how the colors range from a bright orange to a deep purple.
