Seashells and Jewels At Mystique

Can you say, "She sells seashells by the seashore" five times fast? It's tricky! But it's not tricky to have a special place to hold your special jewels. Mary Mandros has newly created these one-of-a-kind shell jewel holders for Mystique. These shell motif designs are Objet d'art, meaning "art object" (or work of art) in French.

Decoupage, or decoupage, is an ancient art form. Trade links with Venice eventually brought the craft to Europe, where it gained popularity in the 17th and 18th centuries. Here are some of the unique shells and gems:

The Butterfly Dish

A flower petal design with blue sapphires and round brilliant diamonds in a by-pass style lands delicately in its dish. 

The Jacquard Design

Do you like Kendra Scott? Then we have the perfect necklace shell combo for you. An iconic shaped design with pave set diamond necklace. 

The Moroccan Temple

A shell believed to be endowed with special powers to protect or bring good fortune. Amulets are carried on the person or kept in the place that is the desired sphere of influence. Pictured here is the Rock Crystal and Carnelian amulet pendant on an enamel gold chain.

The Dragonfly Jewel

Playful pieces like these are all about self-expression. My advice is to find a piece that represents you and have fun with it. The mushrooms are rooted in the belief that true luxury is unique, surprising, and fun by "Alice in Wonderland" and the playful magic of make-believe worlds.

Let's Play with Rubies and Diamonds

This metamorphosis is a whimsical movement of emerald cut rubies and diamond earrings. 

The Bathing Tent

Black pearls symbolize knowledge and wisdom because of a legend in ancient China, which told a story of a pearl originating from dragons' brains. Tahitian pearls interchangeable on diamond rectangular shape hoops.

The Tiger
