'Sputnik' earring design feature the concave-shaped
inside of the shell. The New Zealand paua shell (haliotis iris) is from
Stewart Island, Chatham Islands, or the Southland coastline, places where
the seas are roughest and the shell is thickest. Pure silver reflector disc
behind (more tarnish-resistance than sterling). Solid sterling silver
hoops. Sterling silver earwires. Variations: Pearl shell from the Cook
Islands, and New Zealand nephrite jade (pounamu) from New Zealand's South Island.
