19th century, Mauritania
A classic Jewels’ design with a classic African trade shell. We set it in sterling. The trade shells are money so what better place to hold it than on (in) your hand.
Don’t let the amateurish images fool you. The shell glows white. The lines and grey you see in the image are there but under the surface. The camera seems to show everything as if under a microscope, not as the eye sees it.
One of a kind
Shell: just over 1 3/8″
Ring size: just under 8.5 (It can be sized down or slightly up)
