THE DETAILS
Rach seashell range was inspired by her need to be by the sea. “I’m always finding salty seashells in my pocket”. The Whelk shells being one of my favourites.
Handcrafted from white porcelain with sterling silver studs. The Whelk shells are hand painted with clear ceramic glaze, so once fired their texture is smooth and glossy white, making them comfortable and hardwearing. The stud earrings come with a set of sterling silver butterfly backs and a set of eco-plastic earring backs. So, you can choose your preference, while having a handy set spare!
The studs measure about 7mm wide and 13mm long, making them perfectly comfortable for everyday wear.

Basically, we love Porcelain, it has so many amazing qualities. It’s smooth, beautifully white and glows translucent under the light. Porcelain has a glass gem-like feel once it’s been fired at a high temperature. Porcelain is perfect for jewellery because:
Hardwearing - Porcelain is exceptionally strong, close to the diamond in hardness! It’s scratch-resistant and hardwearing, so can be used daily over many years without losing its initial beauty.
Lightweight - Porcelain makes any jewellery comfortable and easy to wear, due to it being extremely lightweight.
Hypoallergenic - Porcelain is also hypoallergenic, therefore non-irritating (whoop, whoop!) A great choice for those who are allergic to metals.
Easy to Maintain - Porcelain is resistant to acid, so doesn’t tarnish like metals. It’s easy to keep clean, just wipe over with a damp cloth to keep looking like new!
