Urchin Necklace

Ref No: GB008/20098

Design: Shakti Ellenwood is a renowned designer of ethical jewellery, whose handcrafted creations offer a unique blend of beauty and integrity. Her earthy, organic designs fuse an ancient feel with a contemporary aesthetic, incorporating diverse influences including the sacred symbolism of amulets and talismans, the sentimentality of the Victorian era, folklore and ancient civilisations, as well as her own travels across the globe. Inspired by rituals from Egypt, India and the Amazon, Shakti crafts every design using sung mantras and icaros to imbue blessing and protection for its wearer – a prayer captured in gold.

Style Notes: This ethical necklace will remind you of the ocean and long summer days by the sea. It is part of the Animal Amulets Collection which is inspired by the Ancient Egyptians who wore jewellery primarily as protection. Our ancestors from the Palaeolithic Bronze age treasured fossilised sea urchins for their celestial connection.
