Abalone shell is a remarkably cool material, celebrated for its natural opalescence and incredible mix of colors and textures. Some pieces present a smooth, iridescent surface, while others offer a highly detailed, mosaic-like appearance—both of these unique styles are beautifully represented in this necklace. Carrying the pure energy of the ocean inside it, abalone is a stone of love, life, and flowing movement.
The abalone is meticulously hand-cut right in the studio using traditional lapidary equipment. The metalwork features intricately pierced Ajouré elements, utilizing hollow-domed sterling silver shapes to allow the pendant to remain lightweight. Accents of 14k rose and 18k yellow gold are soldered to the silver to enhance the lines, while a round accent diamond adds the perfect touch of sparkle. Everything is protected in custom, handmade bezels featuring signature asymmetrical hand-cut notches.
