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.

Silver, Pearls & Hard Gemstones
Our sterling silver pieces set with natural pearls and gemstones can be worn in the shower. Solid chains and designs made with hard materials are also safe to sleep in.

Sculpted & Delicate Designs
Pieces with sculpted forms, crushed gemstones, seashells, or textured surfaces are more delicate—remove before bathing or sleep. Avoid steam, saunas, and excessive heat.

Brass & Mixed Metals
Although sealed with a protective coating, these are more sensitive to water. We do not recommend showering, sleeping in, or wearing them for days on end. If exposed to moisture, dry thoroughly to preserve the finish.

General Care
Store pieces separately in a soft pouch. Clean silver gently with a polishing cloth; avoid abrasives, especially on pearls and textured surfaces.
