The idea of an antique shell as the base for this ring is just perfect. It is so easy to find shells that are proportioned mathematically and milky white in color, with wonderful spirals and natural designs created by nature. Yet give it just a little more time and this is what happens to that same shell after many years of nature letting it age on its own, uninterrupted.

After years being tossed around in oceans and caressed by waves, the markings in the shell change and little veins and discolored parts appear making it unique from any other shell. These are far from imperfections, but rather are pieces of the story and evidence of the journey the piece has made before washing onto shore.

Into this antique shell we add some one-of-a-kind designs using rare stones from as far away as Afghanistan - red coral, lapis lazuli, turquoise, even gold leaf. Rare & exotic. Like the person who will wear it.
