Handmade Shell & Seed Earrings by Sheenah Marawili – Anindilyakwa Arts

These delicate earrings are handmade by Sheenah Marawili from Anindilyakwa Arts on Groote Eylandt. Each earring features a cluster of tiny natural-coloured shells threaded onto strong nylon, interspersed with a mix of seeds, including one red sandalwood seed and a cream shark vertebra, repeated three times along the drop. At the bottom, a cream/white feature shell hangs elegantly, creating a natural focal point.

The earrings hang 10 cm from silver-coloured hooks, offering a lightweight and comfortable fit while showcasing the intricate craftsmanship of Anindilyakwa women artists. Each pair is one-of-a-kind, reflecting the skill, creativity, and traditional shell-and-seed jewellery techniques passed down through generations.
