Oyster Necklace I – Silver

Oyster Jewelry Series was inspired by the shape of oyster shells found in Bull’s Bay, just north of Charleston, South Carolina. An oyster develops characteristics unique to the waters in which they grow, a metaphor for how place can shape an artist’s work. The design has elegant, clean lines that are based on the exterior contour of the oyster shell, interpreting the form to the essential shape, and references the continuous connection to the saltwater marshes surrounding Charleston.

Each oyster is fabricated and formed by hand with silver wire and finished to a smooth, high shine finish. It is a labor intensive and time consuming process, but the unique end result is stunning.

Oyster Necklace I is made to order and will ship four weeks from purchase date.
