I found this gorgeous, thick chunk of abalone shell on the beach in Malibu, California, brought it home, cut it, and hand shaped it. I found it perfect to adorn the door of this hidden treasure box necklace. Behind the door lies a California shell collection all hand forged by myself out of sterling silver. I created a mussel shell, an abalone shell, and a smooth brown turban shell along side a sandy silver door.
Every single part of this interactive piece is completely handmade by myself; nothing is cast and everything is 100% one of a kind.
This pendant measures 21mm x 17mm x 11mm and includes your choice of a 16", 18", or 20" sterling silver rolo chain

Sterling Silver Shell Collection Treasure Box Necklace with Malibu Abalone Shell
Sterling silver is fine to wear in water, HOWEVER, it will rapidly tarnish if worn in saltwater or a swimming pool
To regularly clean stone and silver, gently scrub with a soft toothbrush, warm water, and dish soap
To remove natural tarnish, if you please, purchase a Sunshine Cloth or Propolish pads to gently rub away excess tarnish. These can be purchased from various online retailers such as Amazon or Rio Grande.
