Georgian 18ct Gold Shell Necklace

238X
40 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

Jewellery 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 18ct gold chain. We also have a pair of earrings that match this necklace listed under Earrings.

An amazing collector’s item.
