The Pansy Shell, (also known as a Sand Dollar) got their name from their flat, round shape that is similar to a coin. In ancient times, some believed they were coins used by mermaids. Like gold and silver coins from a sunken treasure chest, sand dollars wash ashore to delight beach combers. In South Africa they are known as pansy shells because the five rounded shapes on their surface resemble pansy flowers.
Manufactured from sterling silver, these pansy shell are the perfect addition to any ocean lovers wardrobe.
