Abalone Mermaid Tail Earrings

Carved Abalone Shell mermaid tail earring on Sterling silver hoops.

In folklore, a mermaid is an aquatic creature with the head and upper body of a female human and the tail of a fish. The conception of mermaids in the West may have been influenced by the Sirens of Greek mythology, which were originally half-birdlike, but came to be pictured as half-fishlike in the Christian era.

Abalone shells have many names: Haliotis Iris, Paua Shells, Nacre, Mother-of-Pearl, Aulon, and Sea ear to name a few. Abalone healing carries energies of protection and emotional balance.
