  Abalone

  The abalone shell comes from New Zealand and has splendid pearly reflections. Inside the mother-of-Pearl is an iridescent mixture of several colors, including green, blue, purple and sometimes pink. It symbolizes the sea ear and is used by Native Americans as a support for the combustion of sacred plants. The shell of abalone (English name) is used in decoration also because it is very beautiful and resistant. In jewelry, in mixture with other pearls, it will transmit its reflections on these !

  Saint Lucia

  Saint Lucia is an operculum, that of the turbo, a mollusc that inhabits the Mediterranean waters, especially on the outskirts of Corsica. The eye of Saint Lucia looks like a pretty shell, with a flat face representing an ivory-colored spiral, and a bulging face, more orange. This operculum takes its name from The Legend of the martyr of Saint Lucia.

  The eye of St. Lucia is considered as a lucky charm, a guardian angel.

  This shell is presented only in the Mediterranean but we find shell opercula in the warm seas, Indian Ocean, China Sea ... These opercula that you will find on our site resemble the eye of Saint Lucia of the Mediterranean that is why these are commonly called Saint Lucia....Despite this confusion connoisseurs make the difference between the 2 shells....

  In Asia it is called the eye of Shiva. His energies provide protection in your actions and self-confidence. They free from the fear of judgments and help to illuminate one's own destiny.

  This shell will illuminate your jewelry creations with its softness and simplicity, creations of bracelets, necklaces, earrings mixed with mother-of-pearl beads or semi precious natural stones...we all need a lucky charm !
