II Curator’s Note

The Opal Shell

"The Opal Shell" necklace is a striking piece, blending raw natural elements with artisanal craftsmanship.

Handcrafted in our Stockholm atelier, the pendant showcases a natural sea shell, surrounded by crushed raw opals and shimmering pyrite, set within a brass and mixed metal frame. The pendant measures 3.3 cm high (1.3 inches) and 2 cm wide (0.8 inches), and is finished with a subtle antique patina, giving it a time-worn, mystical feel.

The pendant is suspended from a 50 cm (19.7 inches) brass and mixed metal chain, composed of interlocking links of varying sizes, adding a fluid, tactile quality to the piece. Weighing 33 grams, "The Opal Shell" offers a balance of weight and delicacy that makes it both comfortable and eye-catching.

The crushed opals scattered around the shell add flashes of color, while the pyrite adds depth and an ancient, elemental energy. This necklace tells a story of the sea, where the beauty of the shell meets the raw strength of metal and stone. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind creation that carries the essence of the ocean’s forgotten depths, frozen in time.
