SHELL SHOCK,

A serious back injury sidelined Sasha Lickle from pursuing her doctorate in clinical psychology. But, turning to a childhood hobby, she was able to pass the time and create beautiful jewelry as well. "I was four years into a five-year program when I hurt my back, and was literally bed bound for about nine months," she says. "Being stuck at home, I started making jewelry [to] keep myself busy. 

Sasha Lickle Designs features seashell earrings, necklaces and bracelets, all handmade by Lickle, 26.  Pieces can take anywhere from three hours to a week to complete, depending on the design. They are available in Palm Beach at Lily Holt and Leta Austin Foster , and in Lake Worth at Kourney Pulitzer. Lickle gets her shells through "a little old man in Lantana. I go down to him, and tell him I need something yellow or whatever, and he goes on amission for me and brings back all of these magnificent things."
