Patricia Parziale Lemme
”Cape Cod treasures, tumbled and transformed”

About the Artist Patricia Parziale Lemme is a Wellfleet resident and longtime Cape Cod creative with a deep love for the natural beauty that surrounds her. A retired professional turned artist, Patty finds joy in collecting and transforming the shells and rocks she discovers on local beaches into one-of-a-kind jewelry. Her work is rooted in a lifelong appreciation for nature, a keen eye for color and texture, and a spirit of exploration that continues to evolve with each piece she makes. Armed with a Dremel, seven rock tumblers, and a love for beachcombing, Patty brings a hands-on, heart-forward approach to her craft.
About the Jewelry Almost all of Patty’s shells are Quahog shells and are collected from the shores of Wellfleet, while the rocks come from beach walks from Provincetown to Orleans. Every shell and rock are carefully tumbled for four weeks through multiple polishing stages to enhance they’re natural shine and color. Her jewelry—ranging from earrings and pendants to bracelets—is hand-shaped and thoughtfully designed to showcase the textures, tones, and charm of the Cape. Each piece is a small celebration of nature, patience, and creativity.
