Meet the Concha Pearl Shell Earrings: an original Lily Frank design, exclusive to LFJ.

Concha Pearl Shell Earrings by Lily Frank

Sculptural precious-metal ridges frame a single luminous freshwater pearl, turning the familiar shell motif into something sharper, cleaner, and impossible to overlook.

Hand-coloured 1889 engraving of a pearl oyster with a cluster of natural pearls grown into its nacre
A shell that grew its own pearls, drawn in 1889. The concha does deliberately what this one did by accident.Plate from W. F. Kirby, Natural History of the Animal Kingdom, 1889. Public domain.

Statement earrings, but with restraint. The kind of pair that can carry the entire look.

Choose your metal

925 sterling silver. 18K gold vermeil over 925. Solid 18K gold. The concha does not change between them; the metal does, and so does the weight and the price. Silver is the cleanest, vermeil the warmest, solid gold the one that outlasts everything.

Then choose your orientation

Shell pointed up, or shell pointed down. Same concha, completely different energy. Up reads as a crest and sits higher on the ear; down reads as a drop and moves with you.

Available for pre-order now. Shipping begins October 10, 2026.

For the beach bride

The new Concha Pearl Shell Earrings are an original Lily Frank design created for beach weddings, destination weddings, coastal bridal looks, and elevated resort dressing.

Sculptural precious-metal shells frame luminous freshwater pearls—beach jewelry with the presence of fine jewelry. Choose 925 silver, 18K gold vermeil, or solid 18K gold, with the shell pointed up or down.
