SKATE EGG ENCASEMENT ORNAMENT - ALPACA

SKATE EGG ENCASEMENT ORNAMENT - ALPACA

Regular price $40.00

Often referred to as a "Mermaid's Purse" the egg case is a small rectangular pouch made of collagen proteins that protect the developing embryo of sharks and skates (a ray-like ocean fish) for up to 12 weeks. 

Inspired by the organic life on Cumberland Island, artist & designer Gogo Ferguson's work is sublime. Here, she offers her take on holiday ornaments. Sure, they're great on the tree but are even more arresting on tablescapes.

Made of Alpaca silver. The beautiful silver luster of Alpaca usually maintains itself but can slightly oxidize over time. Many people love the delicate patina Alpaca will achieve through oxidation. If you prefer that silver shine we recommend using a metal polish such as MAAS or TARNEX.
