Larimar Scallop Shells

A beautiful image of the beachcomber's fantasy of finding the perfect scallop shell - and here it is designed to dangle delicately from sterling leverback eawires. Tapered strips of lovely larimar inlaid in bright sterling silver scallop shells. Very unique and beautifully made.

Scallops are a delicacy loved throughout the world, and they are linked to many stories and legends. The scallop symbol was used by ancient Christians as a symbol of pilgrimage, it symbolized the Christian's journey towards heaven. It is also linked to Greek mythology as Aphrodite's symbol of love and beauty - "she was born of the sea foam and reached the shores of Cyprus on a scallop's shell." What a lovely illusion!
