Shell Ashes Pendant
Cast & Found Memorial
This popular clam shell pendant, a large weighty silver design, cast as two halves of the shell then laser sealed together to create a sealed capsule. Treasures ashes, locks of hair and other meaningful precious contents such as sand from a special beach or a secret love note.
“Look for seashells and you will find seashells; but open them and you will find pearls.”
Gathered from the lapping shores of a British beach, this beautifully textured closed clam shell has been cast in two halves, then fused together to create a permanent capsule. A special way to remember treasured memories by the sea. Over dozens of beach finds, I was drawn to cast this shell because of its symmetry and its texture.
