Mineral and Matter Verified independent store

Five asymmetric arms radiate outward with ribbed, naturalistic detail — the center dimpled with fine granular texture that mimics the actual surface of a sea star pulled from tidal water. The slightly irregular form keeps it from feeling too polished, too perfect, which is exactly what makes it work. Unsigned coastal jewelry of this kind was produced in abundance during the 1970s and 80s, when nature motifs were a quiet constant in American accessory design. Pin it to a lapel, a hat brim, or a canvas bag and let it do the rest.
