A unique piece to wear for all summer occasions — tropical, bohemian, and subtly luxurious.
The pendant takes the iconic shape of a Monstera deliciosa leaf (often called the "Swiss cheese plant"), with its characteristic broad, heart-shaped outline, deeply split edges, and signature perforations — those oval and rounded holes that give the leaf its distinctive, fenestrated look. Artisans carefully hand-carve these details from the shell, creating an openwork or filigree-style design where the holes are precisely cut through, allowing light to pass and enhancing the pendant's delicate, lace-like quality.
The material itself is the star: black-lipped oyster shell (from the species Pinctada margaritifera, famous for producing Tahitian pearls) features a dark, smoky base — ranging from deep charcoal-gray and near-black to subtle brownish-black tones — layered with a vivid, ever-shifting iridescence. When light hits it, you see flashes of peacock greens, deep teal blues, magenta pinks, golden bronze, and sometimes hints of electric purple or aqua, creating a mesmerizing play of colors that changes with every angle and movement.
The necklace measures 18” (45cm) , If you would like an extender chain please add this at check out. Alternatively if you would like this crafted to your own measurements please contact us and we will be delighted to help.
If you prefer a simpler magnetic closure choose this at check out, however it is not available with an extender chain.
Have a look at the smaller matching earrings, they are stunning as they catch the light when you move.
