Handcrafted by René Bailey in the Sun Salt Silver Studio
Abalone Shell Necklace – Fine & Sterling Silver on 18” Box Chain
One-of-a-kind piece. Once it's gone, it won't be recreated.
Handcrafted in silver. Made to be worn and lived in.
Light meets tide. This one-of-a-kind necklace features an abalone shell set in fine and sterling silver — alive with shifting iridescence that mirrors the ocean’s ever-changing light.
Each curve of the shell reveals a spectrum of color — greens, golds, and deep ocean blues — encased in a hand-forged bezel with subtle silver beading and a polished 18” sterling box chain.
- Genuine abalone shell
- Fine and sterling silver construction
- 18” sterling box chain included
- Pendant measures approximately .90”
Materials
Each Sun Salt Silver piece is handcrafted using sterling and fine silver with natural stones chosen for their character, color, and story.
I work primarily with turquoise, opal, gemstones, shark tooth fossils, and other stones that feel grounded and alive. No two stones are identical — natural variations are part of the beauty.
All jewelry is made by hand in my studio using traditional silversmithing techniques. The result is work that feels substantial, personal, and meant to be worn for years.
Care & Longevity
Sun Salt Silver jewelry is made to be worn and lived in. With a little care, your piece will keep its beauty for years.
Because many designs feature natural stones like turquoise, opal, shell, or fossilized materials, treat your jewelry gently.
A few simple guidelines:
• Remove before swimming, showering, or working with your hands
• Avoid lotions, perfumes, and cleaning products
• Store pieces separately to prevent scratching
• Gently polish silver with a soft cloth when needed
Natural stones can be sensitive to water and chemicals. Keeping your jewelry dry and stored safely will help preserve its color and finish.
