SAND DOLLAR necklace

Cast in brass from a real sand dollar, this 1/2" pendant captures the salt-worn texture and delicate detail of the original shell. Available on an 18" or 20" brass chain. --- The beach is my true happy place. I love being in the ocean—feeling my body’s natural rhythm sync with the rhythm of the water. Walking the sand, feeling it under my feet and between my toes. Combing the shoreline for natural treasures has always been a kind of grounding meditation for me. It connects me to the earth, and back to myself. When life feels fast, full, and overwhelming, the beach offers a kind of quiet restoration. I first started making jewelry out of a desire to arrange the beautiful objects I found in the sand. My earliest collection explored subtle color gradients, created by hand-drilling pieces of seaglass and transforming them into beads. Years later, I developed the BEACH STONES collection—cast from perfectly shaped stones, weathered and polished by the ocean. RELICS, my newest collection, is one I’ve been wanting to create for a long time. It consists of cast seashells, bones, and other ocean fragments I’ve gathered from a beach in Mexico that I visit each year with my family. It’s a place I return to after the busy holiday season—when I most need to slow down and reset. These pieces feel especially personal to me. They’re small reminders to pause. Collected in moments of calm, wonder, and inspiration, they carry that energy with them. May they pass that feeling on to you.
