Reintroducing our Oyster Pendant

Our seaside town of Whitstable is most known for its wild and native oysters. Their popularity dates back to the Roman period, where there is evidence that oysters would be sent back to Rome. However, since the 11th Century oysters have been celebrated and blessed in Whitstable to safeguard an abundant harvest for the next year. Today the festival begins with a religious ceremony and the Native Sea Scouts landing the oysters. The oysters are then paraded and blessed through the town and given to restaurants, inns and bars along the way.

Over the last two weeks, I set myself the task to reintroduce our Oyster Pendant to our hut and after a lot of work and my multiple attempts at trying to get the polishing right on the underneath of the oysters, we finally have them stocked in our hut this weekend! Every solid sterling silver pendant comes with a variation of pearls enclosed inside making each oyster that little bit more unique.
