THE ANATOMY OF THE SKATE

The skate, a gentle fish related to rays and sharks, leaves behind egg cases that wash ashore as small, sculptural artifacts. Often called mermaid’s purses, these forms carry a sense of discovery and nostalgia, instantly recognizable to those drawn to the ocean. Reimagined as ocean-inspired jewelry, they capture a connection to the shoreline, memory, and the quiet magic of sea life.

Each skate egg case is individually handcarved, translating its naturally irregular silhouette into sculptural jewelry. The forms rise and dip with an uneven, organic rhythm, creating one-of-a-kind pieces that feel fluid, tactile, and alive from every angle.

Crafted in solid sterling silver, each piece is oxidized to achieve a deep, inky finish that mirrors the natural tone of the egg case. This rich surface treatment, or patina, enhances the texture and depth of the form, giving the jewelry a moody, sea-worn quality.

Designed as earrings and necklace, these pieces balance bold, organic shapes with everyday wearability. Paired with gold and silver chains and findings, they offer a distinctive, alternative approach to ocean-inspired jewelry.
