Petit Oyster Earrings

The Petit 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 delicate piece that holds symbolic power, representing silent creation, transformation, and the strength found in small gestures.

Discover the concept behind this wearable sculpture:

Pearl, oyster, and silence — intertwined symbols that tell the story of inner processes. A pearl is born out of discomfort and time: an unexpected presence enters the oyster, which responds with care and resilience, creating beauty from adversity. Nature’s gesture is also a symbolic one — a reminder of the strength that resides in the unseen and the wisdom that blossoms in silence.

In its Petit version, the piece carries the essence of the larger Oyster Earrings with lightness and subtlety, expressing femininity as a constant, discreet, and deeply transformative 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.
