My whelk shell charms are made from 100% recycled sterling silver and are lovingly handmade in Cornwall. Each one is an exact replica of a real Cornish whelk shell I have found whilst beach-coming the beautiful Cornish coastline and represent our deep connection to the ocean. The method of metal casting I use captures all the beautiful details of the shell and creates a wearable piece of tranquility and natural beauty to carry with you everywhere you go.
Whelks are a beautiful spiralling shells adorned in delicate ridges forming a distinct apex. The aperture is elongated and slightly oval making the overall silhouette both sleek and intricate. When crafting my pieces I only use shells I have found myself empty on the tideline as it is the only way I can be sure of their origin and ensure no animal has died just for its shell. After working for many years in marine conservation I am acutely aware of the damage being done to our environment and ecosystems by the global trade in wildlife. This experience gives me a unique perspective and drives my dedication to creating environmentally friendly jewellery. Increasing my sustainability and encouraging eco-conscious consumerism is at the heart of everything I do.
I have two sizes of whelk shell, this smaller one measures ~10mm in length and is solid recycled sterling silver ensuring quality and durability. It is available as a charm only to add to your own chain or add on a solid silver belcher chain in your choice of length. Each piece of my jewellery comes in recycled/recyclable eco-friendly packaging. A complimentary non-toxic chemical free polishing cloth is also enclosed, I recommend using this regularly to maintain the silvers high-polished shine.
My silver Cornish whelk shells are perfect for those who value sustainability and elegance, combining natures beauty with eco-friendly craftsmanship. Order now to add this beautiful Cornish shell to your collection.
