La Mer Contour Necklace

Michael Michaud

Regular price $450.00 Sale

Anomiidae go by several names, among them jingle shells, saddle oysters and Mermaid’s Toenails. These are extremely thin, translucent paper-like shells. The shell itself follows the shape of the object it lays on, usually a rock or the large shell of another creature. While the meat inside is basically inedible, there are industrial uses such as the manufacture of glue, paint and shellac.

Materials: The Petite La Mer necklace is cast in bronze and plated with 24K gold over silver plate.

Measures: 18 - 21" L (adjustable)

Handmade in New York
