If you have seen BBC’s Earth|Oceans or read the hope inspiring article “The corals that come back from the dead” then you might feel like us: amazed.
The North Sea does not contain reefs. Although in 2017 a co-op project was carried out in research of “Building with North Sea Nature” which aimed “to bolster the conservation and sustainable use of species and habitats native to the Dutch section of the North Sea” 1. The reef building Honeycomb Worm (Sabellaria alveolata) is an example to such a possibility.
They do build quite spectacular reef structures.
Alas, reefs and precious oceanic habitats are diminishing all over the world at an alarming speed…
Exactly because of this we wanted to create a vibrant & opulent reminder of these incredible and endangered ecosystems.
We used resin coral pieces, silver plated elements, crystals and freshwater biwa pearls to achieve a whimiscal oceanic look.
The Reef Necklace is part of our Ode to the Ocean series and will become available for sale in May 2021.
