Sterling Silver Natural Sea Urchin Pendant

This beautiful pendant made with a skeleton of miniature sea urchin and sterling silver, is a very special natural jewel.
It is a species of sea urchin that is found on the coasts of Argentina and Chile, its structure is especially delicate compared to the hedgehogs that we can find in the Mediterranean.

Each hedgehog is picked by hand by me or one of my friends around the world, directly from the beaches and picked up on the sand or among the rocks diving.

These hedgehogs measure approximately 18mm, a relatively rare size since it is much more common to find much larger adult specimens.

Hedgehogs are filled with a polymer that adheres to the inner walls and makes them unbreakable. The exterior texture is natural, without any treatment to maintain the natural appearance of the sea urchin skeleton.

The crimping and finishing parts are made of 925 sterling silver. Carefully placed in the two holes of the skeleton, prior to carving the shape to fit the silver pieces.

A silver chain or leather cord is included
