Amulette Chanceuse - Antique Chinese Game Counter, Flameball Pea
About the Item
The shells were ground flat, shaped, polished and engraved - all nearly 300 years ago, and all by hand! The particular large mollusk that provided these large flat shells was hunted to extinction to supply this trade.
This beautiful and delicately carved and fretted Chinese gaming counter has found a new life as the centerpiece of an equally delicate and sinewy necklace of sparkling raw black diamonds and creamy freshwater baroque pearls. A unique nucleated “Flameball Pearl” and darling little antique floral white chalcedony fob joins the beautiful mother-of-pearl counter in an explosion of good luck amulets.

Fossilized Druzy Shells Ethiopian Opals - Zara Necklace
By Karen Sugarman Designs
Located in Colleyville, TX
Although today, we think of the Sahara Desert as a desolate and dry place - millions of years ago it was covered in water and was the bottom of an ocean. The remnants of this fact are found in areas of the desert that are covered in little shells, ammonites and fossils. Leaving the dangerous task of collecting these shells to someone else - I was awestruck when I found a gem supplier that had a vast selection of fossilized druzy shells...

Ayla Necklace.
Freshwater keishi pearls, with their gorgeous silky nacre, have been hand-linked with rhodium silver and juxtaposed with a jaw dropping Georgian Enamel Silver Paste Pendant. The rich cobalt blue enameled disc has been encased within a silver paste cartouche frame and accented with a feminine silver paste basket of flowers. Three little teardrops dangle from below the ornate frame. This unique necklace has been married to a frilled section of hand-linked rock crystal and kyanite rondelles and further enhanced with a grouping of pink sapphire flanked with pyrite in gold vermeil. The gold vermeil is repeated again as the delicate pendant is suspended from a twist faceted rock crystal teardrop with hand coiled gold vermeil loops.
