A marquise-shaped sterling silver pendant with pierced scrollwork radiating around an abalone shell cabochon at its center. The shell's iridescence is long associated with intuition and emotional calm, its blue, green, and violet shifting with the light. Pair with a chain to wear at the throat, or gift it to someone drawn to handmade detail.

Details
  • Design: Marquise silhouette with radiating openwork scrollwork, beaded edge border, integrated bail, and oxidized finish to bring out hand-filed detail
  • Size: 0.75 inches wide x 1.75 inches long, bail included
  • Material: Sterling silver with abalone shell cabochon inlay
  • Care: Wipe with a soft cloth after wear and store in a dry pouch away from moisture and perfume to keep the silver from tarnishing and the shell from clouding
  • Included: Pendant only; chain sold separately. A sterling silver snake chain is recommended to match tone
  • Note: Because the shell is natural and the piece is hand-finished, the abalone's color play and the exact oxidized shading vary slightly from piece to piece
Meaning & Intention

The marquise silhouette has long been read as a small shield held over the heart, its pointed tips and expansive center drawing the eye inward to a single focal point.

Balinese silversmiths return to radiating openwork scrollwork again and again — petal-like curls, beaded edges, and pierced negative space give the frame the density of temple carving rendered small.

At the center rests a cabochon of abalone shell, cut to echo the marquise curve. Its shifting blue, green, and violet has long been prized as a token of the ocean's living light, and is associated with intuition and emotional calm.

Framed by lace-like silverwork, the shell becomes a window of moving color at the heart of a still, symmetrical form — a small piece of iridescence that responds to how the light finds it.

Questions & Guidance

What chain works best with this pendant?

A sterling silver snake chain matches the tone of the piece. Choose a length that lets the marquise sit where you want it, from higher at the throat to lower toward the sternum.

Is the abalone shell real?

Yes. The center is a natural abalone shell cabochon, hand-cut to a marquise shape and set into a silver bezel. Its iridescence shifts between blue, green, and violet as the light changes.

Can I wear it every day?

The oxidized sterling silver is durable and the shell is protected in a hand-formed bezel, making it suited to daily layering. Remove it before swimming, showering, or applying lotions and fragrances.

How can I use it to set an intention?

Hold the pendant for a moment before putting it on and name what you want to invite in — intuition, calm, a softer connection to yourself. Touch it during the day when you want to return to that focus.

Too big

The boxes were much bigger than I thought they would be and seemed to be lacking in the quality I'm used to seeing in your products. I have returned both boxes via UPS and am awaiting my refund.

Understated design, well made

I wanted a simple reminder to take a moment to breathe throughout the day. This ring tells me to do just that. It's solid stainless steel, so it's durable. The embossing (engraving?) is clear and consistent from one letter to the next.
