The Sunrise Shell is Hawaii’s most beloved sea treasure. Its golden glow and signature scallop shape? ICONIC. And then there’s its moody, mysterious counterpoint – the Moonrise Shell, a rare variety with cool green and blue hues.
We adore them both equally, and framed them in big, dramatic double hoops, just for the extra oomph of it. From sun-soaked days to moonlit nights, our Double Hoop Earrings shine in any scenario. The ultimate statement piece for any beach-babe mermaid.
Available in sterling silver or 14k gold-filled hammered metal hoops.
Expertly handcrafted by Wings Hawaii artisans in our Haiku, Maui studio.
Sunrise Shells are a type of small scallop native to the Hawaiian Islands. Moonrise Shells are a rare variety; their unique green and blue colors come from changes in diet and environment. As the story goes, these rare gems were once the exclusive property of Hawaiian royals. They were thought to be sacred and would bestow blessings to the wearer. To find one these days, you either have to go deep diving, or wish for luck on your beach stroll. Sunrise and Moonrise Shells represent the Aloha spirit, hope, strength, happiness, and joy.
