A sweet pair of tiny spiral puka shell dangle earrings ... endlessly interesting between the tides jewelry.

- description -
The spiral puka shell is a beach worn piece of a cone shell, naturally occurring with a beautiful spiral leading to a hole in the center of the shell fragment ... the smoothing of the broken shell fragment is the result of being tossed and tumbled by the tides and waves.

- symbolism -
Legend has it that wearing a puka shell ensures a peaceful and safe voyage.
The beautiful spiral … one of the most ancient geometric shapes in history, we find them in art, artifacts and architecture both ancient and current and everything in between and we find them naturally occurring in shells, fossils and plants (think fiddlehead).  Early on it was described as the eternal line and to many it is symbolic of transformation, self discovery, change and the interconnectedness of all life.

- approximate measurement - almost 3/8“ (9mm) - did I mention they’re really tiny?
- the little puka shells are naturally textured on both sides
- metal - sterling silver (.925 silver)
- photographed with a US dime and inch ruler for scale

Hand cast in sterling silver from a few puka shells I picked up between the tides in Puerto Rico.

Spiral puka shell necklace pendants, shown in the last photo, are available here.

Elevate the ordinary!
