Mangal (clamshell) earrings

Mangal is the Yawuru word for clamshell. These earrings were designed by Yawuru-Nirumburr artist Marie Manado.

Marie’s ancestral groups are all saltwater peoples and this is where she draws her inspiration from.

Pearlescent pink acrylic with handpainted white details and a recycled bamboo organic circle and stainless steel post.

Approx. 5.5cm in length.

Nagula Jarndu (Saltwater Woman) is a not-for-profit 100% Aboriginal owned and managed art centre with a focus on contemporary hand printed textiles.

The earring designs have come from those textile prints.

The earrings are laser cut acrylics that are hand painted with stainless steel findings.

Nagula Jarndu earrings are hand made in Broome, Western Australia
