For a long time I wanted to make some earrings with shells, but it is not easy to use shells in earrings. I do have some shells in my collection, but most of them are not compatible with head pins. And I do use a lot of head pins while making earrings. Most shells can be used in stringed necklaces. They are especially very usefull when you use nylon thread to string.
But I really really was in the mood for shell earrings so I took a good look at all shells I have in my bead stash and I came up with this result.
