  • Both earrings angled upright and overlapping at a low viewpoint, so the silver disc rims stand proud as raised bezels around abalone glowing green, blue and purple.
  • Both discs face up and close together without the coin, each sterling scroll forming an angular stepped spiral across abalone shell that flashes green, blue and violet.
  • Mid-century abalone shell disc earrings in sterling silver, the pair shown resting on open fingers which convey their size, each round face set with stepped scrolling silver motifs over iridescent shell.
  • Tight three-quarter view with one disc tipped forward in sharp focus, its stepped silver spiral and abalone catching blue, green and violet while the second disc sits softly behind.
  • Reverse of one disc fills the frame, showing the screwback fitting with its ridged knob and curved arm beside an impressed circular maker's stamp, the second earring at the edge.
  • Both discs face up side by side above a dime, the coin showing how much wider each abalone face is, with angular silver scrollwork crossing the shimmering shell.
  • Both discs seen from behind at an angle, each curved sterling back carrying a ridged screwback knob, threaded post and flat paddle arm, with circular stamps on both.
  • Edge-on view of both earrings, the discs tilting away as thin silver profiles while the threaded screwback posts and their flat paddle ends project sideways toward the viewer.
