Penguin Wing Oyster Shell & Diamond Pendant - "Copper Owl"

"Owl" keeps watch in miniature. Hand-carved from naturally patterned copper oyster shell, this sculptural owl carries warm streaks of copper, cream, and pearl through every feather, letting the material itself become part of the bird's plumage. Nature did some of the artwork here; we're just happy to give credit where it's due.

Two round brilliant-cut diamonds form the owl's bright, alert eyes, each framed in 14K yellow gold for a concentrated flash of light against the organic shell. Its elongated silhouette, deeply carved feather detail, and oversized gaze give the pendant a slightly ancient, talismanic presence, equal parts woodland creature and quiet guardian.

Owls have long been associated with wisdom, perception, and seeing beyond what's immediately visible, making this a fitting piece from designer Maura Green's collection of hand-carved natural-material talismans. Because the shell is natural and individually carved, no two pieces will share the same color or pattern, differences that aren't flaws but exactly what makes each owl genuinely one of a kind. The pendant and chain are sold separately, letting you pair it with a chain you already own or add the matching 18-inch gold-fill chain for a ready-to-wear look.

FAQ

Will the color I see on my screen match the pendant in person?
Natural oyster shell carries individual color and pattern that can read a bit differently depending on the light around it, and your monitor adds its own variation on top of that. Screen settings, video cards, and browsers can all affect color slightly, so the pendant you receive may look a bit different than what you see here. By purchasing, you're acknowledging that possibility. If you'd like a true look before buying, we're happy to walk you through it over video chat.

Is the pictured chain included?
No. This listing is for the pendant only. Please inquire about available chain options.

Will my owl look exactly like the one pictured?
No. Natural shell varies in color and pattern, and each owl is individually hand-carved. Your pendant will have its own markings.

How large is the pendant?
It measures approximately 1 3/4 inches long by 1/2 inch wide.
