Every year Thailand throws away more than 50,000 tonnes of green mussel shell. AVALON Artisan Gallery is a sustainable design studio that turns this shell into new materials. We began as a luxury jewelry maker in 1988.
Our work is built on circular design. One shell gives us two materials. The shiny inner layer (nacre, or mother-of-pearl) becomes MyraGem for jewelry. The rest of the shell becomes MyraShell, a new material that releases fragrance on its own, with no electricity. It is used for wall panels, lighting and decorative objects.
Nothing is wasted, by design, from the very first step. This work won the National Innovation Award 2026 in the Environment category.
