Like a dozen oysters on the half shell, this clock features a dozen Gulf of Mexico oyster shells from New Orleans, set like the hours around a large painted blue-gray tray with black metal handles. A mosaic of mussel and abalone shell pieces, honed down by the waves, amber sea glass, and tumbled pale green and seafoam beach glass circles the plate bottom like the minutes. The 12 o'clock hour is embellished with a real 7mm pearl. Each hand-selected 4 to 4 1/4 inch Gulf oyster shell gets ground down on the back to make it sit properly on the plate and is painted with a glossy sealer to enhance the shell's colorful nacre interior which gives it a fresh-shucked wet look. Clock diameter is 18 inches. Perfect for beach homes, ocean lovers, or anyone looking to add unique coastal decor to their space. Makes a thoughtful housewarming gift or standout statement piece. The American made quartz clock movement requires 1 AA battery. The clock comes ready to hang with a picture wire on the back.
