Inspired by the natural beauty of the puka shells found scattered on the shoreline, I have taken their beauty a step further to create this wonderfully simple spiral puka shell necklace pendant in sterling silver ... organic jewelry found between the tides.

- 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.

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.
