Product Description
This piece has been created as a tribute to the earliest ever recorded jewellery find.

As a tribute to this a snail shell has been created In wax that replicates that found in the cave. The wax design has been 'lost wax' cast, an ancient practice that allows wax creations to be cast in solid metal.
The final piece is a large hollow shell suspended from a sterling silver chain.
