N°41 Mother's Day 2025 Special Set

Tidepool Chatter – Jewellery That Talks Like the Shallows

This set is for those of us who know the reef doesn’t begin with drama—it begins in the shallows, in the chatter and clatter of tidepools. Where coral rubble, shell shards, and worn sea glass jostle and settle with every ripple. It’s noisy, colourful, and teeming with signs of life. You don’t dive into this space—you crouch over it, fascinated. This is where juvenile creatures grow, where water evaporates and leaves salt patterns, and where the reef tells stories in fragments.

This necklace is built like a reef shoreline after a big tide: scattered, deliberate, oddly harmonious. Turquoise, Amazonite, recycled glass beads are complementing the chunkier stones—rough Howlite,veined ochre jasper—are like the tide-washed detritus you find nestled between barnacles and coral heads.

Front and centre, the striking banded agate pendant looks like  the polished edge of a bivalve shell. It’s asymmetric, worn-looking, and elegant in its natural imperfection. The golden rod and silver branch-like dangles around it give the piece kinetic movement—like tentacles swaying in shallow surge.
Each element on this necklace feels like I picked it up from a different tidepool, all layered into a wearable reef map.

As for the earrings, you have 2 pairs to choose from, depending on your mood:

• The long shell-inspired pair of Mexican Crazy Lace Agate (bottom right; 6.6cm long) which are tide pool creatures in motion- all looped into a 22k gold-plated base . They pick up the pinks and ochres from the necklace and look like they just crawled out from beneath a rock.
• The slender turquoise drops (left) bring a lighter note, like ripples on a sunny surface. They’re subtle, for the days you feel like wearing something smaller.

This set is for women who notice the small things. Who understand that resilience doesn’t always come in big drops or dramatic dives—it often starts in shallow, playful, ever-changing places. Where the chatter of a tide pool becomes the rhythm of a reef.
