This 14 karat yellow gold (acid tested) conch shell charm is a small piece of seaside sculpture! Modeled fully in the round, its maker gave it the same level of attention reserved for larger work. The spire rises in smooth, stepped whorls, each one polished to a bright finish. Below the spire, the body whorl changes to a crisp crosshatched texture that follows the shell's natural spiral, so light catches differently across its surface.
Turn it over and the realism continues! The aperture opens into a hollow interior, and inside you can see the reverse of the textured shell wall. This is the sign of a thoughtfully made three-dimensional casting rather than a flat stamped charm. A sturdy jump ring sits at its tip, so the shell hangs point-up the way you would lift one from the sand.
Figural shell charms were a favorite of the mid-century charm bracelet era. This one fits comfortably on a bracelet, yet it has enough presence to be worn alone as a pendant on a simple chain.

Wearing it with care
Jewelry is meant to be worn, but it's also an expensive ornament. Here are a few suggestions to extend the life of your jewelry:
- We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or another trusted jeweler every six months.
- You should remove your rings before swimming or performing any household cleaning, as harsh chemicals can interact with precious metals and permanently damage some stones.
- Generally, we suggest that you do not wear your jewelry to the gym, in the shower, at the pool, or while sleeping.
