These sculptural pieces are hand carved and sculpted from the very finest porcelain clay, and have been cast from a mold of a genuine sea urchin test we found while diving along the coast here on the Big Island of Hawaii. Each piece goes through several firings, with several stages of glazing. The faces of the beads have a colored underglaze, and the centers and edges are glazed with a genuine gold glaze. The findings and chain are 14K gold filled.

SIZES: The ceramic urchin portion of the piece is about 7/8 in. (2.2 cm) long, and 5/8 in. (1.5 cm) wide. Each pendant is hung on a 16” chain, but 18” chains are available on request at no extra charge.

These wearable art pieces are made of the same material as fine china. Porcelain shares many of the same properties as glass; these are delicate, super light, and if you treat them kindly they will last generations.
