A real spiny whelk, fully dipped in 24 karat gold. Every ridge, every spine, every textured groove of the shell's natural surface is preserved under the finish. The elongated spiral form and dramatic surface texture make this one of the most visually interesting pendants in the collection. Gold dipped natural shell, not solid gold, and the wild texture of the specimen underneath is entirely the point.
Small and substantial at the same time. Comes on a black cord with gold hardware.
Condition: Vintage excellent. Gold finish intact throughout including the spiny ridges. Natural specimen in excellent shape.
