As a chambered nautilus grows, it creates new pearly compartments in a larger spiral that are filled with gases to moderate its buoyancy. The cephalopods spend most of their time in the dark of the deep around 2000' and rise to around 300' below the surface to scavenge on dead or dying creatures. This 20" silver necklace has a graceful sterling silver nautilus pendant with an iridescent paua shell bead. Both hang from a sterling silver Singapore chain that fastens with a spring ring clasp.

Cost: $51.00 USD
