Oyster Fragile State Pendant

An intricately carved, double-sided oyster in the shape of Louisiana opens up to reveal an elegant freshwater pearl. This unique design was a response to a tragic local oil spill as a reminder of how fragile our coastline is, and how we should all to do our part to protect it. 

In 2010, an oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico and spewed more than three million barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, causing one of the largest environmental disasters in U.S. history. This disaster greatly affected Louisiana's coastline and the many animals that call it their home. In response, Jose wax carved several coastal-themed designs and, for the whole summer, donated 25% of the sales to the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana, a non-profit organization dedicated to restoring Louisiana's coast.
