Hi everyone...
                     just thought I would share with you my passion for shells and the new range of Shell jewellery available at Rocks Revealed.
Gosh where do I start... it has been a passion for me to collect shells, ever since my first day at the beach.. they intrigue me and I am always in total amazement of how beautiful and delicate shells are.
... NATURE AND BEAUTY AT ITS BEST....
Sea shells are some of the most beautiful natural objects on this earth. Shells have long inspired art and artists, alonside mankind's need to eat has been his drive to create beauty. Man has been working with shells 30,000 to 40,000 years ago. As the interest in collecting shells grew from the 17th to now, so did the fashion for shell jewellery.
                     The healing properties of the Paua Shell, Mother of Pearl is one of cheerfulness, security and protection.. it helps one to overcome despondency, insecurity and dissapointment.. it helps with inflamations of the skin, and helps one reconnect with the sensory organs.
The beautiful colours of the shell are naturally surreal.
