The 14K yellow gold seashell is just under one-inch. The pendant hangs from a 1.5 mm 14K gold cable chain, adjustable from 16-18 inches. This is a nice option for layering with other necklaces. The shell is also available with a gray spinel charm on an 18-inch rounded box chain. (Gray spinel is one of the birthstones for August.) Both options in stock and ready to ship within the U.S. only. *The original shell was found on Ambergris Caye in Belize and cast in gold. Intially, I was drawn to the shells' texture and symmetry, but the more I worked with them, the more I visualized the seashell as metaphor for life's ups and downs~
 
Unmoored and tumbling,
sinking to the depths. A small
shift to change the course.
 
Upward, buoyed, air
riding the current to shore,
peace and reflection.
 
Temporarily
(the only constant is change)
another layer.
