Caracol Pearl Drop Earrings

Classic and timeless snail studs with a freshwater baroque pearl drop. 

Land and sea snails, while in metamorphosis, were very common in the early period of gold work. Time was conceived as being cyclical or like a spiral. The metamorphosis that occurred in certain animals, such as insects, represented the never-ending cycle of life-to-death, and rebirth that all beings were subjected to. Snails are an ongoing inspiration for Daniella's work.
