Talisman Twist Necklaces are one-of-a-kind shell necklaces crafted by local Cape Cod artist, and WHOI employee, Debra Rogers.
Made with locally harvested North Atlantic whelk shells, Debra creates pieces inspired by nature’s patterns, spirals, curves and the vibrant varying tones within the shells. Each piece is meticulously sculpted, fabricated, and finished by Debra.
MATERIALS:
Locally Harvested North Atlantic Whelk Shells
Adjustable Sterling Silver Chain (with 16", 18", & 20" stations)

**Shell colors vary naturally. Channeled whelks feature warm tans, soft beiges, and white tones, while knobbed whelks found on the Cape often show striking shades of orange, coral, tan, and cream. All are mindfully [sustainably] gathered along various shorelines and harvested by licensed local fisherfolk off Cape Cod and the Islands.
