These earrings combine geometric elegance with organic charm. The top section highlights a rectangular smoky quartz gemstone with softly rounded edges, encased in gold-plated brass. Suspended below is a textured, fan-shaped shell pendant that adds depth and a sense of movement. The rich, earthy tones of the quartz pair beautifully with the warm gold finish, creating a harmonious and refined design. The smoky quartz gemstone brings a touch of sophisticated mystery with its warm, earthy brown hues—offering the pure crystalline quality of quartz but with a deeper, more contemplative character. In Renaissance art, the scallop shell was a powerful symbol of beauty, birth, and divinity. One of the most famous examples is Sandro Botticelli’s “The Birth of Venus,” in which the goddess emerges from the sea while standing on a shell, signifying purity and divine creation.
