Mount Treasures

Handmade shell jewellery

We now have a wide selection of earrings and necklaces available. The beauty of shells is that each tiny creature creates a unique structure that will be its home for its entire life. For this reason shells can be seen as symbols of self-resilience, strength, and independence. Shells are more intricate and rival anything made by humans in their sheer beauty, strength and precision. Have a look at the website to see some of my earring and necklace creations. We now have earrings, necklaces, photographs for you to view.

Original and Custom Designs

If you have a treasured single shell or pair of shells, or even a single item that we could try and match — then why not let me turn this into your forever piece of jewellery? You can see from our range that we have a selection of shells in colors and sizes to choose from and we do try to match what you already have. Alternatively, specify the shells and finish that you want and we will do our best to help.

Please email us on contact@mounttreasures.co.nz for further details. Enclosing a photograph of what you already have (if you want a match) would help.

Shell Earrings

Shells are commonly referred to as jewels of the sea as they were often used as an early form of jewellery, especially as simple necklaces. Some shell necklaces have even been dated back to 7000 BC (the Stone Age). I work very carefully to bring pieces together to make sets of beautiful earrings. I hope you can appreciate my shell earrings as much as I do. Enjoy the beauty of these stunning shells as earrings too. Each pair has been individually crafted with love and care.

No two are ever identical. The shepherd hooks come in either dark silver, bright silver or rose gold.

Myadora Earrings and Necklaces

This is my signature design. It was the first shell I ever picked up and I just knew it needed to be crafted into something special. The species is known as Myadora (hence the name) which has very ancient origins. The shell is exactly as it is found. The only attention I give the shell is a very thin layer of varnish to deepen the natural colour.

As you wear it, you can feel the energy of the ocean and I feel it symbolises resilience and independence. I hope you enjoy wearing it as much as I do.

Shell Necklaces

All of my shell necklaces come on an adjustable double knot black cord and can be adjusted to alter the length. Each necklace starts as a humble shell and is fashioned to become a unique piece. Shells are both beautiful and versatile and are celebrated all over the World by many different cultures.

Every one of my shell necklaces is a unique piece and one of a kind.
