    re: Sea urchin ring.
    What a perefct inspiration - their shells are so exquisitely patterned whatever the size of the former occupant. They can be so hard to find intact on the beach, such a childhood treasure they are (I still have a tiny one I found years ago). Gorgeous!

    Excellent! It’s sad that it’s getting harder and harder to find shells on beaches. . . it makes me feel old!
