There used to be a naval firing range above my local beach which used firing shells coated in Bakelite for shooting practice. Although now no longer in operation, I still find lots of bits of Bakelite washed up on the strand line. Due to the force of the initial explosion and the erosion of the waves, the Bakelite forms some beautiful pendant shapes which inspired me to make necklaces.

Full description
Combining a limpet shell and the casing of a military practice firing range shell washed up on the beach, this simple seaside necklace adds a touch of summer to your outfit.
Due to the irregularity of nature and the erosion of the waves, each necklace will be slightly different and come with either blue or green bead embellishments.
Each necklace cord is approximately 40cm in length when undone. Please let me know if you would a longer or shorter necklace.
If you would like to order necklace with a specific bead colour or shell combination, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
AND NOW FOR THE SCIENCE BIT - some of the limpet shells have tiny holes in them. These are caused by the Dog Whelk which uses it's tongue as a drill to bore its way through the limpet shell. Once through, it squirts an enzyme into the limpet shell which slowly turns the poor limpet to mush. The Dog Whelk then turns its tongue into a straw and sucks up the lovely limpet soup for its dinner. Yum Yum.
