CORNISH OYSTER SHELL CALLIGRAPHY Made by: Julia Brooke - a word in your shell 'When I saw you I fell in love' A fragment of ocean, gilded and inscribed... the natural iridescence of the shell catches light, while the hand drawn script spirals across it's surface like the sea's own handwriting. Both keepsake and talisman, every shell is a letter unsent, waiting for someone to read. The inside of this Cornish oyster shell has been beautifully hand written with a romantic message, delicately edged with gold leaf and the back lightly burnished with gold wax... perfect as a romantic gift. Each oyster shell is organically unique, as seasonal and temperature changes effect the size, shape and colour of the shells. These oyster shells are cultivated and sustainably harvested from Porthilly, North Cornwall. The inside of the shell has been protected with clear uv stable resin making it smudge proof and moisture resistant, but not suitable for aquatic display or immersion. Size approx: 9.5 cm x 8 cm / 3+3/4" x 3+1/4" Please note that colours or brightness may appear differently on your screen
