Abalone Shell Charm - Sterling Silver Seashore and Sealife Jewelry, 3-D Casting, Nickel and

An abalone shell — nature's most iridescent creation — sculpted in solid .925 sterling silver and Made in USA at 3/8" x 5/8".

Lost-wax casting translates the shell's organic curves, spiral structure, and respiratory pores into 3D sterling silver relief. The casting process at over 1,640 degrees captures details that would be lost to any other metalworking method. At 2.2 grams, each shell has the weight and coolness of genuine precious metal, hand-polished to a bright finish.

Abalone shells have been prized by coastal cultures for thousands of years — used as bowls, currency, and jewelry by Native peoples of the Pacific coast. The interior nacre, or mother-of-pearl, produces some of the most spectacular natural iridescence in the animal kingdom. This charm captures the exterior architecture of that remarkable mollusk.

A natural choice for beach lovers, marine biologists, shell collectors, surfers, or anyone who finds peace near the ocean. Arrives with a sterling silver jump ring attached, ready for a bracelet or necklace.
