Beautiful mother-of-pearl hearts hang from kidney earwires made from silver plated steel.

Mother of pearl is the common name for iridescent nacre, a blend of minerals that are secreted by oysters and other mollusks and deposited inside their shells, coating and protecting them from parasites and foreign objects.
Nacre is the same substance that is deposited around an object that becomes lodged in the mollusk--either naturally or inserted by humans--to become a pearl.

Due to the handcrafted nature of this item each heart can vary slightly in color and texture.
