hand pierced and hand strung shell and tanzanite
Tanzanite is commonly believed to facilitate a higher consciousness and stimulate intuition and perception.
Inspired respectfully by the ancient practice of stringing shells together to make a beautifully adorned necklace. This piece acknowledges and pays homage to a long and sacred Tasmanian Aboriginal tradition
Shell necklaces were originally made as an adornment, as gifts and tokens of honour, and as objects to be traded with other sea and land peoples for tools or for ochre used in important ceremonies.
