Virgin De Guadalupe Replica, Turquoise, Mother Of Pearl, and Spiny Oyster Earrings

Virgin de Guadalupe replicas are paired with turquoise, mother of pearl, and spiny oyster in these richly detailed earrings by Santa Cruz artist Kate Nolan. The mix of symbolic imagery, colorful stones, and luminous shell gives them a layered, collected feel. Handmade locally, they’re expressive jewelry with a lot going on—and somehow all of it works together.
