Shell elements were worn as a symbol of status and identity throughout the Pacific rim for centuries and held in high regard for the 'Mana' or power they carried. Suspended as a pendant from a delicate strand of ancient shell beads and old turquoise, white coral and seed pearl with our signature 22k gold hand detailing.
