Aurelia Red Botswana Agate Necklace

We knew the moment we found this nautilus shell that it needed to be the centerpiece of something equally extraordinary. Shaped in that iconic logarithmic spiral, its interior is all iridescent silver and steel blue; cool, luminous, almost otherworldly. Nature's own geometry, worn at the chest. The strand we built around it is pure fire by contrast. Large tumbled Red Botswana Agate nuggets, each one glowing with that deep amber-to-coral warmth the stone is celebrated for, with enough variation in tone - some closer to burnt sienna, others almost translucent orange - that the whole thing reads as rich and alive rather than uniform. It's a combination that stopped us in our tracks when we first laid it out: the ancient warmth of carnelian against the cool iridescence of the shell. Opposing forces that somehow pull each other into focus. There are pieces we make and pieces that feel like they make themselves. This is the latter. It's dramatic without trying to be, sculptural without being precious, and it carries with it the kind of quiet confidence that only comes from materials that have nothing left to prove. You'll know when the moment calls for it - all eyes will be on you. - 14-20mm Red Botswana Agate Pebble Nugget Beads Nautilus Shell Gold Filled Toggle Clasp 18" Length plus Nautilus Shell (approximately 2.5")
