Short and sweet, nice and neat! You can’t beat black and white. The center of this set has a shiny glass bead with matte black beads accompanying; a lovely subtlety.
Dentalium shells (also called tusk shells) have been used for hundreds of years as currency and decoration for traditional indigenous and non-indigenous clothing and Western designs. They are typically white and shaped like elephant tusks and worn in a variety of garments and jewelry designs as a symbol of wealth, health and community connection.
Approximately 3 1/4’’ (3.25) in length
Since shell is a natural material and beads are photographed inside, colors will vary.
