They say shells have the power to reveal as well as contain the deeper mysteries of the wearer. A mnemoactive object, a carefully selected shell is the tangible trigger of a world of sensory memories.
The pendant that you see on this page has been fashioned from sterling silver with a minuscule shell embedded slightly off-centre. Both the shell and the body of the pendant are of similar shape, the milky opaqueness of the shell gleaming against the dense ivory-coloured bed.
Human beings have loved shells since time immemorial. As tools or adornments, they are an element that is at once functional and beauteous.
While shells are not a popular feature of traditional Indian jewellery, the embossed pendant that you see on this page is a work of contemporary jewellery-making. Note the rim of silver that defines the shell as well as the body of the pendant.
