About the Item

Enchanting pale pink carved conch shell earrings depicting mirror image winged little tritons blowing triton shells. The fish scales, hair curls and the triton rolls are minutely and intricately carved. The tritons were probably carved in Italy and brought to England and with the addition of a single shepherd's hook, were made into earrings. There is a matching pink conch shell necklace which will be featured on First Dibs shortly.
