This is the work of a jewerly maker named Wilson Simonson a guy I met picking these shells off of a small secluded beach on the north shore. I thought it was really impressive that the guy who makes this amazing jewelry is also taking the time to sit on his butt and pick these miniscule shells out of the sand at the edge of the surf. To really appreciate the process involved in making this jewelry you should go to his website and read about the creation process.
