Sea urchin pendant

The artefact

The silver filigree pendant is hand-crafted and depicts the stylized shell of a sea urchin. Available in different models and sizes, it is part of the collection inspired by the marine world that includes rings, pendants, brooches and tie-offs for necklaces. This simple yet sophisticated artefact is made of yellow gold and burnished silver, an expression of the original interpretation of the local context.
