Turritella are a type of sea snail with tall spiral shells, a marine gastropod mollusk. With a tightly coiled shells, looking like an elongated cone. My children call it the 'unicorn horn' shell.

The name Turritella comes from the Latin word turritus meaning "turreted" or "towered".

My jewellery is individually hand-crafted or made in small batch production and hand-finished - this is reflected in the final finish of each piece. This means that it will not be the same as machine made or mass-produced jewellery. Instead, it gives each of my designs a special artisanal touch.
