“Blue Shell” was hand-carved from a piece of California Nephrite Jade.

Pendant approximately L 1 1/8” x W 5/8“ x D 3/8“

Carved in 2024.

Note from the Artist: Inspired by the remote beaches along the Big Sur coast. Dark blue jade is extremely rare and is mainly found on a rugged short stretch of rocky beach. The trail to get to the water is very steep and one miss step can lead to serious injury. I found this little exceptional blue cobble years ago and wanted to showcase the color with a design that would be thin and unlock the beautiful electric blue hues. I carved a blue Siberian jadeite accent bead and two Guatemalan blue jadeite slider beads to balance the dark blue.

The Cord: This piece is strung on a polyester/nylon blend cord with hand-carved beads, that slide to adjust cord length. The length range of this cord is about 15-30,” but this varies, so please call us if you need your cord to be specifically tailored to you at no extra charge.

Complimentary Cord Replacement: Our nylon cord is highly durable; built to withstand years of adventure! Should your cord need repair or replacement, you’re in luck! This pendant comes with a complimentary cord repair/replacement for life! You only pay for the shipping to get it to us - we will do the work and ship it back for free!

All elements of this creative process are unique to each individual piece. All processes performed by us are done so by hand, with the aid and precision of electric hand tools… Please expect variation, as these products are 100% one-of-a-kind works of art.
