The 925 mark describes sterling-silver fineness, not pure silver. The FTC Jewelry Guides explain U.S. standards for representing precious-metal content.
Is This a Real Shell Earring?
No shell material is listed. “Spiral shell” describes the sculptural form: a sequence of folded silver curves inspired by a shell-like spiral. The product is represented as 925 sterling silver, not as jewelry containing a natural shell.
Why Are There Left and Right Versions?
The spiral expands in a specific direction along the lobe. Choose the left or right single for the intended ear. The pair includes one of each mirrored orientation, not two identical pieces.
Ear anatomy and piercing position vary. The approximate dimensions help buyers compare scale, but they cannot guarantee the same coverage, angle, or comfort for every wearer.
How Does the Mixed Satin Finish Look?
The satin surface reduces mirror-like glare while polished high points emphasize the raised folds. This is a finish description, not a protective coating. Small surface and dimensional differences may result from hand finishing.
How to Wear and Care for the Spiral
Support the centre while fastening the earring and avoid pulling the larger outer fold. Wipe away moisture and cosmetics after wear, then store the piece in a dry separate pouch. Sterling silver can tarnish naturally; use a silver-care cloth gently rather than aggressive polishing that could alter the satin texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do these earrings contain real shells?
No shell material is listed; the shell reference describes the spiral shape.
Can one climber be worn on either ear?
No. The spiral is directional, so select the version made for the intended ear.
Does the pair include two pieces?
Yes. The pair option includes one left-oriented and one right-oriented earring.
Are these pure silver?
No. The verified material is 925 sterling silver, which is an alloy designation.
Does a spiral shell symbol provide healing or protection?
No reliable evidence establishes medical, protective, energetic, or spiritual effects from wearing a spiral motif. Symbolism is cultural or personal rather than a verified product function.
