Oyster Elegance - Trinket holders - 10 variations available

"Oyster Elegance" is an exquisite piece of upcycled art crafted from a discarded oyster shell. The artist employed a combination of gilding techniques and resin coating to enhance the natural beauty of the shell. Gold leaf was meticulously applied to the edges, providing a luxurious frame for the nacreous interior. The shell is adorned with an array of materials, including freshwater pearls, semi-precious stones, and metallic beads, strategically placed to complement the organic form of the oyster. The use of resin not only preserves the shell but also creates a smooth, glossy finish, highlighting the contrast between the natural and the ornate elements of the piece. Sizes vary from 5.5cm to 8.5cm
