This necklace is extraordinarily sentimental, and a bit of a departure from my other pieces.  I can accept that it might not be everyone's thing … I have been in such a weird space lately.  I just want to get back out there on the beach and frolic in the sun.  Making this piece helped a great deal.

The shells I used are sea urchin (natural) and natural trochid spirals.  I should mention that the trochid shells appear to have been coated and filled with two different colors of resin.  I will give the vendor the benefit of the doubt here -- I'm sure these shells are fragile and perhaps needed some fortification.

- All metal components are sterling silver

- Cable style chain

- Textured jump ring

- Heart-shaped lobster claw clasp

The necklace assumes a slight V shape when worn.

I have never had such an easy, pleasant time shooting a photo of one of my pieces -- the colors of these shells are so beautiful, and the abstract shapes are so appealing.
