Sea Shell Accessory

Product Description

This is a lovely sea shell accessory, hand wrapped with Nickel plated Copper wire.

We like nothing better than to be in our little workshop creating things like this lovely sea shell accessory which could be used as a keyring, a bag charm or anything else you can think of. We collect the sea shells ourselves from Cornish beaches and quaysides. We individually hand wrap each one of our shells with Copper band or Copper wire and the joints are Silver soldered to add strength and aesthetics.

For this sea shell the surface of the Copper has been patinated imparting that beautiful aged look that Copper can show, but which can take many years to form in nature. This process has given the Copper a real patina, it is not an artificial colourant/pigment. The Copper is not varnished and overtime the patina will change, this beautiful property of Copper means that your piece will take on individual characteristics, telling its own story of how it has been used.
