Handcrafted from Conus shell, these beads display natural ivory, cream, and tan tones with subtle variations unique to each piece. These heirloom pieces feature intricately notched and carved marine shells traditionally used as currency or status symbols. Their smooth surfaces and organic appearance have made shell beads an enduring component of West African adornment and trade.
The large bead count and consistent sizing make this strand ideal for jewelry making or ethnographic collections.
Condition is consistent with age. Natural shell variation, light wear, and minor imperfections should be expected.
