This Sea Moss dress necklace features an organic seaweed design, beautifully highlighted in Sheila's Sea Blue enamel, and enhanced with moonstones. A small enamelled droplet hangs from the bottom. The piece measures approximately 53mm by 56mm overall and hangs elegantly within a sterling silver bell chain.
About the collection
For many years, Sheila had been keen to develop jewellery inspired by the shape and form of seaweed, so when Janette Park, curator of Stromness Museum, asked about a collaboration to help raise funds for the museum, an idea took hold.
During a memorable visit to the museum, Sheila was shown fascinating and delicate seaweed samples, many collected from coastline at Hoxa Head during WWI. Inspired by the heart-shaped tips on some of the sea moss forms, Sheila worked with her in-house designer, Olivia Yorston, and together developed a beautifully organic collection of jewellery in both silver and gold.
