For these earrings I used ocean theme materials: natural shells, white mother of pearl beads, and pink mother of pearl flat beads. The inspiration came from a Mikimoto picture which was showing a pearl being extracted from an akoya pearl oyster. Trying to capture that image, I have used natural shells to represent akoya pearl oysters and white mother of pearl beads for pearls. To give these earrings a little bit more color, I added pink mother of pearls beads as well.
