LARE Snail - Ocean Shell 18k Gold over .925 Sterling Silver handcrafted Pendant Brooch

This Ocean Shell pendant in sterling silver combines natural artistry with precious metalwork. A genuine spiral shell in white and brown tones forms the snail's body, crowned by rich ruby-colored accent stones set on delicate antennae.

Ocean Shell rates 3-4 on the Mohs hardness scale, requiring a protective setting—here achieved through an ornate silver latticework frame with 18k gold overlay. The piece measures L-1 3/4, W-2 1/2, T-1 1/8 inches and weighs 15.80g. Mixed metal construction pairs polished gold-tone settings against textured .925 sterling silver, creating visual depth. The dual-purpose design functions as both pendant and brooch.

Wear this Pattaya Collection piece as a conversation-starting brooch on structured blazers or suspend it from a chain for dramatic neckline impact. Suits gallery openings, resort dinners, or any occasion calling for bold natural jewelry. SilverRush Style has specialized in real natural-stone sterling silver jewelry since 2005. Ships free within the US. All pieces carry the .925 silver stamp.
