Snow Quartz Stella Maris

This 16.75" necklace is made with Vintaj brass findings, 4mm snow quartz and 6mm white river shell for a bronze replica of an antique Stella Maris medal.  The reverse of the medal is just as lovely as the front.  Asymmetrically placed Vintaj brass swallow charms make a distinctive impression.  The set includes matching dangle earrings and a 6.75" bracelet which can extend up to 8.5".

White Shell St. Joan of Arc

This necklace is sized for a child, but includes an extension chain so it can be worn for years to come.  The medal (5/8") is bronze, and pictures St. Joan's vision of St. Michael the Archangel on the front, her execution on the back.  The beads are 6mm white river shell and 3mm Swarovski pearls on Vintaj natural brass pins and findings.  The necklace is 12.5" long, but extends up to 15.5".   It comes with a matching 6" bracelet, which extends up to 7.5".

Shell Choker

This was a casual piece I threw together.  The crosses are made of shell. separated by 4mm black glass beads and strung on nylon-coated stainless steel beading wire with a platinum-plated lobster clasp in the back.  The entire piece is only 15" long.
