A teeny tiny farm paua shell that I set in a hand-sculpted claystone. I was inspired to create this pendant by the beauty of shells embedded in rocks as they slowly fossilise over time. It’s a reminder that sometimes, time can make things even more beautiful.

SKU:004-N-PS3-S

JEWELLERY DESCRIPTION

I hand-sculpted clay around this farm paua shell. Then dipped the clay in silver (process called electroforming and plating).

Hangs on a fine sterling silver cable chain.

Wear it two ways: showcase the inner lustre shell to boast its inherent glow, or flip it to display the smooth silver-plated black.

Shell height: approx 10-13mm silver (sizes will vary).
Chain: adjustable, 40-45cm/16-18in long.

ABOUT NATURE & CREATIVE PROCESS

  • All our paua shells have been sustainably sourced from a local paua marine farming operation. The juvenile shells did not mature and therefore are discarded as a waste product, from which evolve our unique jewellery pieces.
  • Our jewellery-making process is an artful fusion of organic nature and the electroforming technique, inspired by the wabi-sabi philosophy that finds beauty in imperfection. Unlike traditional cast pieces, our pieces capture the raw essence of nature itself. These charming quirks & irregularities from both element & the process enhance the authenticity and rustic character of each piece, making it one-of-a-kind. Remember that these treasures are delicate.

  • We work with natural elements to create pieces that are one-of-a kind. What you receive might not look exactly the same as what is pictured (unless stated otherwise), but each piece will share your individuality and uniqueness!

MONEY BACK GUARANTEE

We proudly offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all our jewellery (some exclusions may apply). If you are not satisfied with your purchase, you may return it within 30 days from the date of receiving the item for a full refund. Click this link for the full details.
