Edentulina

Earrings inspired by the green gastropod shells (a rare coloration in snails) of the carnivorous snail species Edentulina that occurs in Southeast Africa. The orange tourmalines originate from Mozambique that belongs to the distribution area of these snails. The earrings are composed of two interconnected moveable elements: above, a larger snail shell, and below, a tourmaline that is asymmetrically set by three smaller shells. The intermediate ball mechanism of white gold is mounted off-center to counterbalance the tourmaline’s long axis.
