Ella Button Ring

SOLD Some antique shell buttons are truly exceptional, and this is one of them. Intricately carved, iridescent, and pierced through, this beauty spent many years in my personal collection before I was ready to transform it into a ring. I set the button in 22k gold, taking care to pierce through the sterling silver backing to highlight the pierced carving. In the center of it all is a stunning Oregon Sunstone, with generous flashes of schiller throughout, and set in 18k gold. The band and carvings on the side are sterling silver, with 18k accents. This is a one-of-a-kind ring.

This necklace is finished with a custom sterling silver "S" clasp. One-of-a-kind. ~1.5" long by .5" wide, on an 18" strand.

NISA Jewelry Maine Mussel Shell pendant on gray

Mussel Shell Pendant, on chain

<em><strong>MADE TO ORDER</strong>. Please allow up to 2 weeks for me to craft your necklace.</em>   Mussel shells line the beaches here in Maine, washed up in long, seaweed-tangled rows. I find them irresistible. At first glance, they look brown and bland, but holding them up to the sunlight reveals the loveliest hues of purple, blue, and white. I spend hours collecting these, and then many hours more cleaning the brown off of them and selecting the ones that are jewelry-grade. I break many of them along the way, but once they reach the jewelry-stage, they're no more fragile than an opal or pearl. I sand them to reveal their natural colors (no color-enhancements here!), fill them with clear resin (for structural integrity, and to allow the light to pass through the translucent shells), and set them in sterling silver (or 22k gold, per request). Suspended on an 18" silver chain. A bit of the Maine coast, to keep near your heart.
