Shellshine Hoop Earrings

Shellshine Hoops 🐚✨ A rescued piece of American costume-jewelry history, reimagined for today. The Shellshine Hoops are made with vintage lucite forms discovered in a Rhode Island warehouse—a nod to the state once known as the costume-jewelry capital of the world. Their softly luminous, shell-like material has a glossy finish reminiscent of enamel, while our hand-dyed colors bring new life to these beautiful old plastics. Each pair is fitted with surgical steel posts using a custom machine we created specifically to repurpose vintage finds like these. • Made with authentic vintage lucite discovered in Rhode Island • Features a luminous, shell-like glow and glossy enamel-style finish • Hand-dyed in our studio; Ecru is the original vintage color • Set with surgical steel posts • Posts are fitted using a custom machine created to repurpose vintage plastics • Measures approximately 1.25" in diameter • Measures approximately 8mm at the widest point • Lightweight, dimensional hoop silhouette • Sustainably created by rescuing and repurposing vintage materials • Limited by the availability of the original vintage forms Why We Love It: They preserve the glow, history, and craftsmanship of Rhode Island’s costume-jewelry legacy—then add a fresh burst of Leetie color. 🐚✨
