Rabôt partners with Tern Jewelry to create custom pieces exclusive to www.shoprabot.com. Tern Jewelry is made from shells found throughout the continent that are then wrapped in precious metals in Los Angeles. Silver and gold plating of ornamental and ceremonial artifacts dates back to AD 50-300. Tern references this history, while considering the lifeline, ubiquity and preciousness of shells. Like a tern gathers from the ocean, shells are gathered by chance for each piece of Tern Jewelry.
