14k Yellow Gold Filigree Sand Dollar Pendant

About this piece

This 14k yellow gold pendant is shaped as a sand dollar and worn on a chain through its polished bail. The disc is worked in open filigree — a lace-like lattice of fine gold that lets light pass through — with a raised, polished five-petal star at the center, faithful to the natural form of a sand dollar. The side profile shows how the disc has a gentle dome, giving it quiet dimension rather than lying completely flat.

The contrast between the textured filigree ground and the high-polish star creates visual interest without added stones or color, letting the gold do the work. At roughly half an inch across, it sits neatly at the collar without overwhelming a delicate chain.

Worn alone on a simple gold chain, it reads as an understated coastal reference year-round. It layers easily with other pendants at varying lengths and holds up well to daily wear — the solid gold construction means it won't tarnish or fade with time. A gentle wipe with a soft cloth keeps the filigree bright.
