This dynamic abalone shell needs no embellishment. Its natural flowing layers give the feeling of undulating desert sands or rolling ocean waves. Evolving from the ocean, this wonderful protective shell of sea snails, is an extremely durable and attractive wearable piece of art.
Many coastal cultures that have relied upon the sea for survival have revered abalone for centuries. It has so many varied uses and legends. In the Apache culture, it is used in The Sunrise Ceremony that marks a girl's passage into womanhood. Abalone connotes solace, a connection to the ocean, and the cycle of life.
