Spiny oyster shell comes from a bivalve mollusk, a popular choice for jewelry, tools and currency in ancient times. In fact for some South American cultures, spiny oyster shells were more valuable than gold and silver. Only spiritual leaders or elders were allowed to wear or even use them. Abby Panteah has carved a delightful feathered friend pendant from colorful spiny oyster shell, while Clayton Panteah inlaid turquoise eyes. Including bale, measurements are approximately 2” wide and 1” long. The complimentary sterling silver chain is about 24”. A lovely 2-piece set perfect for a Mother’s Day gift.
