Crab Earrings

Description

Adorable Pearl and Blue Topaz Crab Earrings in Sterling Silver from Michou’s “Poseidon’s Treasure” Collection.  The sterling silver and 22 karat vermeil wire earrings consist of a bezel set pearl and blue topaz in the body of the crab.   The silver is plated with anti-tarnish material.   One Year Warranty.   Matches 171332.

The yellow is vermeil (pronounced ver-may) or washed in gold.   Vermeil is material that is composed of a thick layer of gold over solid sterling silver. While industry standards dictate that the gold portion must be 10 karats or above and 2 microns thick for a piece to be considered vermeil in the U.S., Michou uses 22 karat gold that is 3 or more microns thick.

Playful images of seahorse, starfish, and sand dollar are carved in perfect detail amid stones of blue labradorite, blue topaz, and white pearl.  They dance on fanciful pendants and bracelets, captured in draping strands necklaces and ornate cuffs, or hung in singular pieces as simple drop earrings and curious charms.

Each whimsical piece of Poseidon’s Treasure is uniquely shaped and textured by hand, and each magical creature chiseled in relief onto silver, then further refined with hundreds of tiny gleaming granules set into the images like a thousand grains of sand melted into place over the ages.

Imagine each piece reflecting the colors of the ocean when lit by shafts of sunlight from above.  Wear the pieces of Poseidon’s Treasure to connect to your own inner goddess; feel the call of the deep from the vast spirit that still lives here in the temple of the sea.
