Miniature Heart Urchins

Most of us have seen heart urchins (aka sea mice), those puffy paper-thin shells that look like blown-up sand dollars (see image below). Miniature Heart Urchins are actually tiny cousins to the far bigger heart urchin, and only ever attain about 1 cm long. We find them in sandy patches in the reef, many of them with holes drilled in them by predators! They are hollow and bubble-like, also known as ‘urchin tests’. As with all of the silver shells we use at ‘Alohi Kai, we only use found-shells that are empty and unoccupied before taking them from the sea – we would never knowingly harm a creature that grew or uses them!

This product is currently out of stock and unavailable.

Details

Our Miniature Urchin Stud Earrings are perfect replicas of full grown miniature heart urchins! The shells are found empty on the reef; we never take things alive from the sea. We make molds from these paper-thin perfect little shells (called ‘tests’) and then make copies. We use pure sterling silver posts.
