The Valentine's Day Collection-Purple Spiny Adjustable Heart Ring- Pauline Nelson

This is a heart with backbone. The deep purple spiny oyster shell has natural striations and color movement that shift in the light, giving it that rich, wine-dark glow that looks expensive even when you’re wearing sweatpants and questionable life choices.

The heart is framed with classic twisted sterling wire, adding texture and contrast without stealing attention from the stone. The adjustable shank makes this ring actually wearable in the real world, not just theoretically wearable in a glass case.

Handcrafted by Pauline Nelson, this piece balances softness and strength perfectly. Romantic, yes. Fragile? Absolutely not.

Why Spiny Oyster

Spiny oyster shell is prized for its bold natural coloring and organic patterning. No two stones are alike, which means this ring is very much a one-of-one situation. Anyone claiming otherwise is lying or selling plastic.

This ring doesn’t whisper romance.
It smolders quietly and waits for compliments.
