ABOUT THIS PIECE:
This abalone disc was originally cut for another project. At 1” diameter by 1/8” thick, it was sanded dead flat and polished until the nacre came up clean and bright, with shifting greens, pinks, golds, and purples.
The natural pores on the reverse were backfilled with a deep translucent blue epoxy, that stabilizes the shell and keeps the theme related to the ocean. The result was too stunning to use as a backdrop, so it became a standalone pendant. A simple silver double-sided bezel holds the abalone so the beauty of both sides can be seen and enjoyed.
The result is a clean double-sided piece that lets the abalone do the work.
