The Sea Shell Pendant Necklace with Gemstones on Leather Cord brings a piece of the beach with you wherever you go. Each necklace features a natural sea shell, wrapped in ethically sourced 14K gold-filled wire and paired with genuine semi-precious gemstones like aquamarine, pearl, amethyst, or pink topaz.

It hangs from a soft 32-inch leather cord with a hand-tied button closure, so you can wear it long or double it as a choker. Every necklace is one of a kind, and the one shown in your selected option is the exact piece you'll receive.

Choose Your Shell

Each option pairs a different natural shell with its own gemstones and leather cord color, including:

  • Pink Stripe Shell: Pearl and pink topaz on sea foam green leather
  • Purple Shell: Rose quartz on brown leather
  • Swirl Shell: Pearl and iolite on sea foam green leather
  • Yellow Shell: Emerald and a pineapple charm on sea foam green leather
  • Orange Shell: Aquamarine and pearl on turquoise leather
  • Brown Shell: Peach pearl on brown leather

Browse every option above to find the one that's meant for you.

Handmade With Natural Materials

No two shells are alike, so we build each necklace around the shape and color of the shell itself. The 14K gold-filled wire wraps and frames the shell, and the gemstones are hand-selected to complement its natural tones.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is each sea shell necklace one of a kind?

Yes. Each necklace is made with a natural shell and hand-selected gemstones, so no two are identical. The image for each option shows the exact necklace you'll receive.

How long is this shell necklace?

This shell necklace is about 32 inches long. Wear it long, or double the cord to wear it as a choker.

What gemstones are used?

The gemstones vary by option and include aquamarine, pearl, amethyst, pink topaz, rose quartz, citrine, emerald, and iolite.

Can I find my birthstone?

Yes. Options include amethyst for February, aquamarine for March, emerald for May, pearl for June, and citrine or topaz for November.

Does this necklace have a clasp?

It has a hand-tied button closure instead of a metal clasp. The button slips through a loop in the leather cord to fasten.

How do you care for a leather cord necklace?

To care for a leather cord necklace, keep it dry and take it off before swimming or showering. Water can stiffen leather and dull the shell, so wipe it with a soft, dry cloth after wearing.

Commitment to Sustainability & Ethical Sourcing

We believe that beautiful jewelry should also be responsibly made. That’s why every piece we create is crafted with a deep commitment to sustainability and ethical sourcing.

Ethically Sourced Precious Metals
All of our 14k gold and sterling silver comes exclusively from refiners on the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) list. This means our metals are sourced from refiners who are in good legal standing and who certify—as well as independently audit—that all supplies are fully traceable and conflict-free.

Mindfully Sourced Gemstones
We prioritize transparency and ethical practices in every gemstone we use. Whenever possible, we seek out mine-to-market stones or purchase directly from small, US-based lapidaries. This approach supports responsible mining, fair labor, and small businesses within our community.

A Promise You Can Trust
From the metals we select to the stones we set, we are dedicated to ensuring our jewelry not only looks good, but does good. You can wear your piece with confidence, knowing it was made with care for both people and planet.
