CRYSTAL SEA SNAILS
These stunning Swarovski pendants are available from Cookson
Gold in two diff erent sizes and colours. They were designed by
Celine Cousteau, grand-daughter of ocean explorer, Jacques
Cousteau. Available in a striking Bermuda Blue and a clear crystal,
with an AB (Aurora Boreale) coating, which creates an iridescent
shimmer in light. The smaller version measures 14mm, perfect for
a pair of earrings, and they come in a pack
of two. The smaller size costs a little
over £8 for the Bermuda Blue option
and just over £5 for the crystal AB.
