Reminiscent of a sewing bobbin or an eyelet from an old fishing boat

this terrific triceratops does double duty to deliver snuggles when the road gets a little rocky

Maireener Shell Earrings | Delicate iridescence First Nations Children sea dragonsSingle maireener shell earrings are handmade by Palawa Tasmanian artist Aunty Jeanette James, using traditional Palawa shell stringing techniques. This cultural practice is many thousands of years old and has been passed down through generations, with Aunty Jeanette recognised as a senior custodian of the tradition. The exquisitely luminous and iridescent maireener (mariner) shells used in these earrings are collected along the Tasmanian coastline.
