This coastal-inspired “Calypso” necklace features a luminous round Shiva shell—also known as Pacific Cat’s Eye—elegantly set beneath a hand-hammered and oxidized sterling silver bail. The pendant is suspended from a bright sterling silver snake chain and finished with a secure sterling toggle clasp for a modern, polished look. The smooth, glossy shell measures approximately 1-1/2 inches in diameter and about 1/4 inch thick, with the full pendant (including the bail) measuring approximately 1-3/4 inches long. The front reveals soft white and sand-toned spirals that evoke the rhythm of ocean tides, while the reverse displays even more intricate natural patterns—making this piece beautiful from every angle.

Shell Information. Shiva shell—named after the Hindu god Shiva—is the natural operculum (protective cover) of the Turban snail. Often used as a symbol of transformation, protection, and spiritual insight, it is associated with the Third Eye and Crown Chakras. The spiral on its face represents life’s journey and the continual flow of change, making it a meaningful talisman for inner vision and renewal.

Thoughtful Pricing: This necklace is priced to reflect the rarity and natural beauty of Shiva shell, the use of all solid sterling silver components, and the careful handcrafting of each detail—including the oxidized bail, soldered joins, and made-to-order finish. Every piece is created with intention and care, meant to evoke a connection to the natural world and to last for years to come.

Pricing: Necklaces
My necklaces are priced to reflect the rarity of the gemstones, the amount of sterling silver used, and the time-intensive craftsmanship involved. Many feature large, unique focal stones that are more costly and harder to source. Each necklace is hand-wired and custom-finished to order in your selected length, using only solid sterling silver—not plated or pre-fabricated materials. Compared to smaller jewelry, necklaces often require more complex construction and a higher level of detail. The pricing reflects the quality, artistry, and intention behind every piece.
