AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant decorative pendant composed of hundreds of natural shells, featuring a slender silhouette and a remarkable richness of details.
This piece stands out for its complex assembly of shells in ivory, white nacre and cream tones, organized around a circular metal framework.
The upper section presents a cluster of small shells arranged in a crown, extended by several rows of suspended shells forming an openwork cascade.
At the center, a large circular structure of 21 cm in diameter forms the heart of the composition. It is generously adorned with small shells arranged on several levels, creating a sense of volume and relief.
The lower part extends into an elegant tapered tip, made of an intertwining of shells and white links, giving the whole a silhouette reminiscent of traditional pendant chandeliers.
