These
earrings have been cast from a real urchin shell, also known as a Test.
Rose found this perfectly tiny shell whilst diving the north west coast
of Scotland and couldn't resist taking such a cute souveneir.
The
shell has been thickened on the inside to give the pendant a good weight,
and a mould was taken from it. It has been cast into sterling silver
and has been polished by hand to a high shine.
Aquamarine
Jewellery is designed and made by scuba diver Rose Ledbury. Her designs
are inspired by the ocean, and the wonderful creatures she meets when
diving.
The
urchin measures 16mm in diameter, by 7mm deep. It is made from hallmarked
stirling silver, the full length including the hook is 35mm.
Aquamarine
jewellery is designed and made in the UK.
