In my mind, there are few things that are more authentically Hawaiian than the Sunrise Shell. This endemic shell comes in every color of the sunrise (and sunset) - each one unique and a true ocean treasure. They live in deep waters and rarely wash ashore intact. To find a sunrise shell is pure magic, as it is to wear one around your neck.
This beautiful sunrise shell in particular - a sophisticated piece with alternating bands of white, carnation pick, rose, sunny yellow, and even a touch of lavender - was found on Oahu. It is pristine and perfect, still with its "wings."
This beautiful shell is suspended on hand braided ashy brown waxed cord. A beautiful sliding champagne colored Edison Pearl makes this necklace adjustable up to 26 inches. Two miniature cone shells hang delicately down the back - a beautiful and elegant finish to the braided cord. Turn the shell over and you find a sweet surprise, a 18k rose gold plated whale tale charm is set into the shell's recess. You can wear this necklace with it facing either direction - two beachy looks for a mermaid who likes a little variety.
This is a perfect way to wear a special piece of Hawaii every day of the year. Dress this necklace up, dress it down, take it to the beach - it is both beachy and sophisticated, elegant and organic.
To you. From me.
Love,
The Sea
