Jewels was able to make this design a few years ago. Jewels is not the kind of brand where thousands of one piece are made. It’s exciting to find the wonderful old shells with perfect patina to be able to do it again. We capped and threaded each shell with sterling, making for an Urban gypsy thing. The chain too is sterling, of course.
