The revolver clasp is named for a gun, which sounds dramatic until you realize the connection is entirely mechanical. Both operate through a rotating barrel, and whoever named it was simply being accurate.
Responsible Beauty
Responsible shell sourcing in fine jewelry typically runs through two channels: regulated fisheries with documented harvest limits, and byproduct recovery from food and aquaculture industries.

Carrying fine jewelry across multiple price points wasn't a market strategy. It was the conviction made concrete.
