Why spiny oyster shells?
Spiny Oyster shell is often inlaid or used as cabochons and the color combination of Spiny Oyster and turquoise is as old as the human love for adornment. Coming all the way from the Sea of Cortez in Mexico, Spiny Oyster shell is most commonly seen in orange, red and purple. The more strident the color, the more expensive the shell is. Here are some more interesting facts about Spiny oyster shell:
- They are not actually an oyster, but a type of mollusk
- The color of the shells varies based on their diet and depth they live in the water
- They are more abundant and sustainable to harvest than coral
- Darker colors are harder to find, and therefore more rare
- These shells have been used in Native American artwork & jewelry since pre-historic times
Don't miss out on this great opportunity. We are currently offering over 100 different styles of spiny oyster shell jewelry on our website. Visit the link above to and add some spiny oyster shell jewelry to your collection today.
