Oyster Earrings L

The Oyster Earrings by Paola Vilas is a wearable sculpture crafted in Sterling Silver or Sterling Silver with 18k Gold plating, adorned with a natural pearl. A piece that carries symbolic and poetic power, representing sublimation, creative gestation, and the delicacy of inner transformation.

Discover the concept behind this wearable sculpture:

Oyster, pearl, and process — symbols intertwined to express the power of silent creation. The pearl is born from discomfort: a grain of sand or impurity enters the oyster, and in response, layers of nacre are deposited over it, creating something precious and unique. Metaphorically, this natural gesture becomes a symbol of sublimation — the ability to transform adversity into something extraordinary.

The oyster, guardian of this process, represents retreat, care, and the wisdom of knowing the time it takes for beauty to emerge. Together, these images reflect the feminine as a deep and silent force, revealing the power of internal cycles, patience, and sensitive presence.

Material: Sterling Silver or Sterling Silver with 18k Gold plating and natural pearl.

Natural Pearl: We use natural pearls, which may vary in color, shape, and size. Each piece is unique and may differ slightly from the image shown.

Please note:

All sterling silver jewelry plated with 18k gold requires special care and is subject to changes in appearance. Gold plating is a thin layer over sterling silver, and contact with various surfaces, exposure to chemical elements found in lotions and perfumes, and even the skin’s natural pH can act as a polish or react with this delicate layer — gradually wearing it away and revealing the sterling silver underneath. Once the gold plating wears off, it is possible to replate the piece or have it cleaned for continued use as sterling silver.
