Operculum Shell Pendant in Silver

From the Latitude Abrolhos Sea Shell Collection, a Sterling Silver Pendant featuring a Operculum Shell Charm cast from original shell shape from the beaches of the Abrolhos Islands. 

Meaning: Operculum is a structure that closes or covers an aperture, in particular a secreted plate that closes the aperture of a gastropd mollusc's shell when the animal is retracted.  In Shells we find children will refer to these as 'Mermaid's Money'.

Designed and made by Latitude Jewellers.
