This modern conch shell charm is cast in 14 karat yellow gold with solid construction. The shell design captures the spiral form and ridged texture of a natural conch, with curves and details that mimic what you'd find washed up on a beach. Yellow gold gives the piece warmth and catches light along the sculptural ridges as you move. The solid gold construction means it has some weight to it - not heavy, but substantial enough that you'll feel it on a bracelet or necklace chain.
