Carapace — Electroformed Copper Crab Shell Pendant Necklace

$49.00

A real crab shell, transformed into copper. It is a small piece of the shoreline, made to last forever.

Through electroforming, I grow a layer of solid copper over the natural shell, preserving every ridge, ripple and scalloped edge of the carapace. Hand-shaped copper wire waves across its surface, and the copper is darkened to bring out deep bronze highlights. It hangs from a warm 22" copper chain.

I found this crab shell myself on Horseneck Beach in Massachusetts, so this talisman carries a little of New England's shoreline with it. This one is the only one. It arrives in a gift box.

  • Real crab shell, electroformed in copper

  • Hand-shaped copper wire accents

  • 22" copper chain

  • Conductive Talismans Collection

  • Handmade at Sacred Petals Art Studio, Massachusetts

Pair it with: Copper Cascade Layered Chain
