The nautilus shell is thought to symbolize renewal, expansion, and order amid chaos, while its sacred geometry defines beauty in nature. Its hypnotic shape inspired the curiosity of Britta Ambauen , who hand-cast its likeness to make this gorgeous necklace. The recycled 14-karat-gold pendant, strung on a coordinating chain, is both a modern heirloom and a shining tribute to the shell's everlasting appeal. Handmade in Washington.
