Sterling Silver and Paua Shell Butterfly Studs
These butterfly studs feature two pieces of paua (abalone) shell to mimic the intricate wing patterns found on butterflies. The cut out design adds a modern touch, while the unique natural shell will ensure your earrings are unique as you never get two pieces of shell the same.
Buying for someone special? Our products come wrapped together in tissue as standard. This is to reduce packaging waste and keep prices low by not including the cost of packaging in our prices, but we appreciate the need for it when giving as a gift.
A box or organza bag is available for a small extra fee. We don’t make any profit on the price of our gift packaging, it is simply there as an option for gifters.
If you have any specific packaging requests, for example you’d like something boxed as a set, pop a note in the comments box at checkout or email us at sales@essentialjewellery.com.
Sterling Silver Care: To keep this item in best condition when it is not being worn: store away from air, preferably in a plastic bag or wrapped in acid free tissue. Should a surface layer of tarnish appear, simply polish off using an ESSENTIAL polishing cloth. For a deeper clean, soak the piece in warm water and mild soap for a few minutes before wiping dry with a soft cloth. Ensure all soap product is rinsed off thoroughly to avoid any residue being left on the silver. Avoid contact with chemicals such as household cleaning products. Ensure any body lotions/perfume are fully absorbed by the skin before wearing jewellery. Sterling silver jewellery should not be worn in chlorinated water. Silver should not be subjected to sudden changes in heat and so we do not recommend wearing your jewellery in Jacuzzis, saunas or steam rooms.
Paua Shell, otherwise known as ‘Abalone’ has a beautiful lustre to it. In order to keep your paua shell in the best condition there are a few simple steps to follow. Do not expose your paua shell to any chemicals such as cleaning products, harsh soaps, chlorine or perfume. Keep it away from prolonged direct sunlight as this can cause the colour of the paua shell to fade. Keep your paua shell separate to your other jewellery when storing to avoid scratching. To clean your paua shell, wipe the shell with a slightly damp cloth to remove any surface oils or debris. DO NOT use silver cleaning fluid or ultrasonic cleaners as these will likely damage your paua shell.
Sterling Expertise
The Essential Take on Sterling Silver
We love silver not just for it's beautiful shine but also it's amazing work-ability. The malleable nature of silver allows it to be shaped into an infinite range of styles from beautiful basics to unique works of art. Adding the 7.5% alloy metal to create sterling silver means it is durable enough for everyday wear, and with the right care can last a lifetime.
