Spiny Oyster Shell and Turquoise Pendant
The shell of the spiny oyster found in the Pacific Ocean off the Baja coast of Mexico can be cut and polished to create beautiful jewelry. Here I paired the shell with a tiny turquoise stone set in copper to enhance the shell's colors.
The sterling silver and copper were oxidized dark and then polished to brighten the high spots and enhance the forged details.
Metal: Sterling Silver, Copper
Stone: Spiny oyster shell, turquoise
Pendant: 2 inches long x 3/4 inch wide (5cm x 2cm)
Necklace Length: 16 inches (40cm)
The necklace will come packaged ready for gift-giving.
