S.S. Mother of Pearl Dragonfly Dangly Earrings

(4) 12mm long teardrop cut mother of pearl make the wings of this cute little dragonfly duo! Set in sterling silver and complete with dangly earring hooks.  Mother of pearl is technically termed “nacre”, which is a crystallized mineral compound that forms on the inner shell layer of certain mollusks. This smooth and iridescent substance is structured in tiny stacked and interlocking platelets bound together by silk-like proteins, principally conchiolin.
