A sweet pair of tiny puka shell dangle earrings … crinoid star fossils ... endlessly interesting between the tides jewelry.

- description -
The 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.

- 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.

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

History made wearable!
