Vintage Operculum Pendant – Spiral Shell Gold Plated, Handmade

This extraordinary vintage pendant, crafted from a genuine operculum, is a true gem of nature. The shell's natural spiral has been artfully framed with a gold-colored metal setting, further emphasizing the spiral structure and creating a noble, almost regal appearance.

Each piece is unique—from the natural shape of the shell to the individually tailored gold plating. The warm sheen of the gold tone blends harmoniously with the cream-to-caramel tones of the operculum, creating an organically luxurious flair. The pendant is an eye-catcher both on its own and combined with a natural chain such as leather or gold.

Ideal for anyone looking for exceptional, maritime-inspired vintage pieces or a handmade gift with character and history.
