Spirits Bay
Celebrating strength and resilience. Spirits Bay is inspired by the Totorere Shell - worn down by the elements over time until only the strongest part remains.
ABOUT THE COLLECTION
A celebration of strength
Each Spirits Bay piece is a symbol of achievement, a celebration of your own inner strength, or a gift to be given in recognition of remarkable grace under pressure. Inspired by a natural symbol of resilience, Spirits Bay is designed to be worn and given to those who share a spirit of strength.
THE DESIGN
A mystical shell
Lady Christine Hill’s fascination with Totorere shells, found in New Zealand's Spirits Bay, began many years ago. These shells are worn down by the elements until only the strongest part remains, leaving an elegantly curved, ring-like shape. Christine began collecting and sketching them, transforming these mystical shapes and bringing them to life in precious metal.
