A Gower queen cockle shell was cast in solid silver and made into this eye catching necklace by Pa-pa at the silversmithing workshop by the sea. This is not an electroplated or dipped shell it is solid silver. This chunky solid silver necklace would suit anyone who loves collecting seashells and visiting the seaside.
On the Burry Inlet on the edge of the Gower Peninsula, South Wales these tasty shellfish have been harvested since the roman times. The women of Penclawdd, the small village on the estuary, used to pick the shells to earn extra cash while their husbands were working down the coal mines.
