Cute False 'Opihi dangle from a small hoop earring.
These hoops are approximately 1/2 wide and gently hammered and shaped by hand to give a beautiful sparkling texture that shimmers in the light.
Our jewelry is made with your choice of Gold Fill or Sterling silver metal. This metal will not tarnish and can get wet.
Please note that the False 'Opihi are delicate shells and you should wear your jewelry with care. Please take caution wearing these earrings at times when you may be at risk of snagging or pulling. Such as playing sports, interacting with small children that may pull the jewelry, moving around bulky things, etc. We will also work with you to replace broken shells for small repair fee. (If the shells arrive broken and the fault is ours we will always replace at no cost to you)
Each shell is also unique, and may look different in it's shape, spines, and even shade. We will strive to select shells that are close to the photos. We do have other shell colors such as brown, tan, and near white that we can customize upon request. Please reach out to us on Instagram or e-mail to inquire about special orders.
Some info about 'Opihi 'Awa:
False 'Opihi (False Star Limpets) are different than the endemic species of 'Opihi found in Hawai'i. True 'Opihi do have size limits regulated by law, however, false 'Opihi does not fall under the same category and does not have the same size requirements. These False 'Opihi are air breathing, and do not grow as large as true 'Opihi.
Each listing should have image guides as well as tips in the description above.
Please be sure of your size before ordering, resizing is subjected to fees.
Processing times will vary during different times of the year. Holidays such as Christmas, Valentines and Mother's Day are very busy.
Announcement bar at the top of the page will have the latest *approximate* processing times. We try our best to give the closest estimates, but since jewelry is hand made to order, times can fluctuate.
