Pendant (0.75″ by 0.5″), Sterling Silver, Mallorca Shell
Hard to find on the beaches of the island of Mallorca (Spain), these delicate and beautiful shells appear to be the remnants of old shells. They’re almost flat and solid, with a spiral on the shiny clear face; you may find them in various sizes (1/4″ to 1″ in diameter). I have incorporated them as a valuable element of my jewelry, using them as gems in new designs all the time (click the image).
