Book Your Virtual ConsultationJewellery is so often inspired by nature and this rare necklace is just one piece. It dates to the 1820s when there was a fascination with shells and shell collecting to place in curiosity cabinets or to create grottos. Shells also found their way in to pieces of jewellery as in this extraordinary example that has specially chosen cowrie shells. Each shell has a gold flower above and below to secure it on to the 18ct75% pure gold (or 750 parts pure gold and 250 parts other metals) gold chain. We also have a pair of earrings that match this necklace listed under Earrings.
An amazing collector’s item.
I have never seen anything like this beautiful necklace before.
