This hand-crafted one-of-a-kind dentalium earring set is made with a warrior mindset which applies to men, women or anyone else. Wear these on days you need to carry extra courage, to feel the strength of your ancestors and catch eyes with the pop of a bright red glass bead.

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.

About Bloodstone according to Fire Mountain Gems & Beads, an established shop carrying a wealth of information surrounding stones/beads since 1973:

“Bloodstone is associated with two Western zodiac signs - Aries and Pisces - plus the so-called "new" sign Ophiuchus (snake-bearer). This connects the stone to the months of February, March, November and December.
Bloodstone’s properties are believed to affect the circulatory system: strengthening veins, toning the heart and fortifying the blood - all things that contribute to a long, healthy life. It is also associated with "getting your blood up" - the infusion of a person with courage and strength of purpose
.”

Approximately 3’’ in length
Since shell is a natural material, shape, color and size will vary.
