Purple Spiny Oyster Necklace

Crafted by Nature’s Hand: Our exquisite jewelry features the vibrant hues of purple spiny oyster. Unlike mined minerals, purple spiny oyster is the product of an underwater creature. Spiny oysters, part of the mollusk family, are surprisingly closer to scallops than actual oysters. Their name comes from the quills (spikes) that grow outward from their shells. The rich purple color, reminiscent of deep ocean depths, adds allure to any piece. Whether you seek symbolism or simply crave a wearable work of art, embrace the magic of purple spiny oyster.

This necklace is made by Dave using purple spiny oyster we got from our supplier out of Albuquerque, NM.  He started out with a purple spiny shell and formed it down to this shape for the necklace.  Purple spiny is only found in the deepest part of the ocean.  It is set in a sterling silver simple bezel with twisted wire surround.  It’s hung on an 18″ patterned cable chain.
