"The Sailor’s Valentine originated as a way for sailors to not only express their love for wives and family, but to also while away the endless days at sea. Fashioned from varieties of colorful shells found during their travels, these beautiful mosaics were originally housed in wooden boxes and covered in glass. I first became aware of these highly collectible works of art early during our 10 year sojourns to Nantucket for the summer. Imagine my delight in finding a miniature version of the Sailors Valentine encased in this vintage pocket watch! A muted lavender Jasper-ware classic figurine is the focal point of this unique pocket watch Sailor’s Valentine. She is surrounded by a painstaking arrangement of the most miniature shells in lavender and beige. A chain of gorgeous faceted Ametrine nuggets with hand-coiled loops are interspersed with delicate hand-linked champagne citrine rondelles and additionally, with acknowledgement to the bounty of the sea - stunning lavender freshwater pearls."

I love to shop and find these beautiful things for you!
The only problem is while I am looking for inspiration, I fall in love. If you have a special valentine that makes the mistake of asking you what you really want for Valentine's Day, I have a suggestion. Hello! Is this the most beautiful necklace or what?
