Vanilla Swirl


People walk beaches across the globe in hopes of finding a tiny treasure in the sand. The curves and swirls of shells have inspired artists for years. The strength, versatility, and visual appeal of the spiral have made it very popular for jewelry design.

The spiral creates a sense of balance, a yin-yang effect that is very soothing. Complimented with the other jewels of the sea, glowing freshwater pearls add a soft luster of natural tones. The simplicity of a frame of silver around each stone keeps the natural beauty of the shell the focal point of these eye-catching designs.
