Pure Shell Pendants in Sterling Silver  

Natural Ocean Shells Set in .925 Silver Settings

Shells have been worn as adornment for over 100,000 years, making them among the oldest jewelry materials known to humans. The specimens in this collection come from mollusks across tropical and temperate waters worldwide. Mother of pearl shells display iridescence caused by microscopic layers of aragonite platelets. Abalone shells show color shifts from blue-green to pink depending on viewing angle. Cowrie shells carry smooth, porcelain-like surfaces formed by the mantle tissue of living mollusks. SilverRush Style has offered shell jewelry since 2005. Our settings use .925 sterling silver, an alloy of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper for durability. Silver tones complement the natural cream, pink, and iridescent hues found in shell material. Browse the full range to find shells that match your preferred size, shape, and color variation.
