Red & yellow chevron Pysanka earrings

These earrings are made from the shells of a Ukrainian Easter Egg (Pysanka). They feature small chevron details from a traditional geometric design, in red and yellow. The original Pysanka from which this piece of shell came was broken, which can be seen in some of the edge imperfections. The epoxy clay in which the shell is set serves to stabilize and protect the egg shell, giving it strength and durability. The laquer over top of the shell preserves the designed portion. The bezel setting, earwires and backing of this stud style are silver plated.

Materials: lead-free & nickel-free plated metal; epoxy clay; egg shell; clear lacquer
