One of a kind

‘Love Look’ Scallop

$185

Sold — this piece has found its keeper

A scallop found in Florida's Ten Thousand Islands, its ribs fanning like rays — hand-polished and set on a red cord.

Commission Something Inspired

This one-of-a-kind piece has sold and can never be made twice. If it speaks to you, I'd love to compose something in its spirit — or browse the pieces still seeking their keeper.

This piece exists exactly once. The shell was gathered by hand in Ten Thousand Islands, Florida, then cleaned, tumbled and polished on the lapidary wheel. When it finds its keeper, it's gone for good — and it ships with a hand-signed provenance card recording its story.
