Pippa Small 18kt Gold PSTM Myanmar Shell Pendant On Cord

Timeless 18kt gold shell pendant situated on Pippa's signature gold cord; handmade by the talented artisans of Turquoise Mountain Myanmar.

Working in Myanmar with the arts charity Turquoise Mountain for the last ten years has been the most inspiring journey. The artisans, who are all master goldsmiths, come from long lines of generations of accumulated skills in diverse parts of Myanmar, representing different traditions of work and skills. 

The pieces featuring flowers, leaves, shells, and butterflies are made from flat sheets of gold that the artisans transform into delicate works of art. They celebrate nature's perfection in form, harmony, balance, and life. As a predominantly Buddhist culture, this reverence of the natural world is a thoughtful meditation on appreciating the slow unfolding of life around us.
