Polished Limpet Shell Pendant

When highly polished, limpet shells reveal an amazing tortoise shell coloration that is very attractive. The interior of the shell has a deep shimmer effect that reflects light that passes across it from any direction. You really have to see this to appreciate this effect! The pattern on this limpet shell is symmetrical and balanced and has an edge electroformed in durable 18 kt gold. A totally invisible, baked-on protective coating has been added for greater durability and abrasion-resistance. The shell measures 1.78 inches in diameter. This shell pendant is a beautiful example of shell jewelry at it's most elegant!
