Aod an Emrodez / Twin necklaces with sand from Cancale

The Côte d'Émeraude (Breton: Aod an Emrodez; lit. 'Emerald Coast') names a part of the English Channel coast of eastern Brittany near the border with Normandy in France. The name was given by historian Eugène Herpin in 1890, inspired by the incredible colours of the sea and shore. The coast stretches between Pointe du Grouin and Cap Fréhel and includes the harbour of Cancale - a small fishing port located east of St Malo. Surrounded by vast oyster beds and overflowing with seafood restaurants, it’s sometimes referred to as the oyster capital of Brittany. The harbour with its shiny sand and aquamarine blue water opens a picturesque view with an outline of the Mont St Michel rising over the horizon. Many seashells are crushed here by the elements every day, producing tiny pieces of nacre covering the seashore near the town.

These twin necklaces were inspired by the beauty of the sea in the Cancale harbour. They contain minuscule seashells and pieces of nacre picked on the seashore in Cancale. The same design stands behind both of the necklaces, yet each of them is unique and bears its individuality. The necklaces can be purchased separately (Necklaces 1 and 2 are labelled in the last photo) or as a set of two. Each necklace comes on a silver-colored 18-inch chain.

These pendants are unique and one-of-a-kind. Handmade in a smoke-free home.

I do my best to make photographs as faithful as possible. However, depending on the light, the hues may appear slightly different from the original.
