Carry the Ocean Close: Sterling Silver Heart with Seashell Charm - | Made in USA
Shell collectors and pilgrimage enthusiasts share a common symbol: the scallop shell, carried by medieval travelers along the Camino de Santiago and treasured by beachcombers on every coast. This charm renders that fan-shaped form with radiating ribs and a defined hinge in solid .925 sterling silver, made in the USA, at 5/8" x 5/8".

At 1.2 grams, the piece is lightweight but dimensionally rich — the kind of depth you can feel under your fingertip, produced by lost-wax casting from a hand-sculpted original. The .925 alloy uses copper rather than nickel in the 7.5% that isn't pure silver, making it naturally hypoallergenic. Each charm is hand-finished through multiple polishing stages to a smooth, mirror-bright surface.
The scallop has represented Venus, pilgrimage, and the sea across cultures for centuries; its radiating ribs and symmetrical form have made it one of the most recognized natural shapes in decorative art. String it on a chain, add it to a beach bracelet, or pair two with ear wires. A sterling silver jump ring is included and attached.
