À Soi, meaning ‘one’s own’, ‘belonging to oneself.’ A reference to a shell that already holds a special meaning to you.
Because the starting point is always a shell chosen by you, no two À Soi are ever the same.
Material: Recycled silver
Finish: Matte / Shiny
Handmade in North Yorkshire

Choose a shell that means something to you. It can be one you've found yourself, something brough back from a special holiday, or from a favourite place.
There are size limitations, the shell should fit onto a 5p coin. Get in touch if yours is bigger than this. Shells with texture work particularly well.
Your original shell is carefully cast to create a silver pendant. Your shell is not damaged during the process and will be returned to you with your finished piece.
À Soi is made to order, so please allow up to 4 weeks for your pendant to be completed, although it is often ready sooner.

Jewellery care is vital to ensure your piece lasts a lifetime. Most metal develops a natural surface patina over time, which will develop differently dependent on use and environment. Jewellery should be stored in a clean, dry environment while not being worn, preferably in the jewellery box it was presented in and away from other objects that may cause scratching.
The tarnishing process can be mediated by completely removing jewellery when applying creams, lotions, perfumes and keeping pieces away from moisture. Minimising contact between your metals and household chemicals will keep the piece looking fresher for longer. A gentle polishing cloth is recommended to buff your pieces from time to time.
