Mini Turbo Shell Horn Charm by Nicola Bathie

Here's the copy for the Mini Turbo Shell Horn Charm:

Mini Turbo Shell Horn Charm Designed by Nicola Bathie McLaughlin x AKOLA

The spiral of a turbo shell is one of nature's most satisfying forms, and carved in horn, it takes on a warmth and depth that a cast piece simply can't replicate. Hand-shaped from up-cycled Ankole cow horn, this mini charm captures the tight, architectural coil of the shell with the kind of precision that only comes from working by hand.

Artisan women in rural Uganda carve each one individually, and the natural variation in horn tone means every charm has its own coloring, cream, warm brown, or somewhere in between. It's a piece that feels considered, whether worn alone or threaded alongside others on a charm chain.

Pair it with the collar necklace for a clean, close-to-the-neck look, or let it hang on a 16" paperclip chain for a more relaxed wear.
