This Aurum shell mosaic uses iridescent gold-coloured shell to create a warm, light-responsive surface with a finely scaled geometric rhythm. Completely handmade, the shell is cut and shaped into square tesserae and carefully set on mesh for ease of installation, allowing the natural sheen to sit within a disciplined grid.

Aurum Shell Mosaic in Gold-Toned Tesserae

The tesserae are available in 10 mm, 15 mm or 20 mm squares, giving designers control over how detailed or calm the field appears. The colour shifts through pale gold, cream, champagne and silvery pearl rather than reading as a flat metallic finish. That variation is central to the Aurum shell mosaic, especially where directional lighting can catch individual pieces and create small changes in brightness across the surface. Documented commissions include walls, vanity unit doors and tabletops.

The Basket Weave White Silver Shell moves towards a cooler woven texture, while De Ferranti’s Metallic & Pearlescent Tiles offer alternative reflective surfaces when ceramic or metallic finishes are preferred.

Scale, Light and Specification

Where the project budget or visual brief calls for a restrained use of shell, Aurum can be specified as borders, dados or accent tiles rather than a full field. On larger areas, request representative samples and consider tessera scale alongside grout, surrounding stone, timber or metal. For bar tops, bathroom features, swimming pool work, furniture or other specialist applications listed for this product, confirm the appropriate backing, installation method and finish for the exact location before ordering.
