The earrings from the “Mussel Memories” series combine an unusual design with an organic, sculptural feel. Their distinctive shape is created through a casting process that turns the form of a mussel inside out: its textured outer surface becomes the inner surface, while the smooth interior is brought to the outside.

All pieces in the series originate from a single mussel shell. The casting process, however, creates subtle variations, so no two forms are exactly alike. Each piece becomes a distinctive piece of jewellery, capturing the natural shape of the shell and reinterpreting it in a new way.

Elisabeth Schotte creates delicate, narrative pieces of timeless elegance. Her work combines traditional and contemporary techniques, weaving new ideas into the age-old theme of jewellery.
