The asymetry reflects the way shells are found on the beach. I have concerns about methods of drilling holes in shells. Drilling them in a dry environment creates dust that can cause silicosis when inhaled. A small tin can with a sponge covered with water to rest your shells on while drilling eliminates this hazard. Thank you for sharing your beautiful designs.

I love the nature themed jewelry that resulted from them – and the asymmetry in the necklaces is so perfect for these natural components. The beads you chose to add to them enhance the beach theme. They are lovely pieces!
