Santa Lucia was a third century martyr; she is known as the patron saint of eyes. The shells are found throughout the Mediterranean, but these particular ones come from a beach near her home in Syracuse. We have surrounded them with two rows of very sparkly dark grey diamond beads – Lucia has its roots in luce, meaning light, and these earrings sparkle with it.
