Approximately 5” wide × 3” tall × 1” high — oriented horizontally, the longest dimension running side to side — with a smooth full dome. The resin is nearly crystal-clear — glass-like and precise — with a soft lavender and violet tint pooling in the lower depths, like a specimen jar lit from below. The dominant element is a large full natural mussel shell — deep olive green exterior, warm gold and iridescent brown interior — beautiful, organic, and substantial, the kind of shell a Victorian naturalist would have carried home from the coast and labeled with satisfaction. Arcing across the upper field, a strand of smooth dark charcoal hematite beads with cream and bone round accents forms an elegant frame. Suspended from it: a gorgeous ornate bronze square pendant with a detailed filigree border and a central peach-pink cameo or rose cabochon — Victorian, antique, and deeply detailed. A substantial striped bronze Bali-style dome bead accompanies it. An ornate silver rectangular charm completes the strand. A single small pearl rests in the lower right field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oval rounded rectangle — approximately 5” wide × 3” tall × 1” high, horizontal orientation, smooth full dome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eResin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crystal-clear with soft lavender\/violet tint pooling in lower depths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShell:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large full natural mussel shell — deep olive green exterior, warm gold iridescent interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark charcoal hematite bead strand with cream\/bone round bead accents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePendant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ornate bronze square pendant — filigree border, central peach-pink cameo\/rose cabochon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccents:\u003c\/strong\u003e Striped bronze Bali-style dome bead, ornate silver rectangular charm, single pearl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne of a kind\u003c\/strong\u003e — no two are alike\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eA mussel shell from the coast.
