Clustered Maireener Shell Necklace
Clustered Maireener shell and sterling silver chain necklace - an exceptionally beautiful, simple and elegant piece of statement jewellery and significance
The striking jewellery produced by Palawa Tasmanian artist Jeanette James uses the traditional shell stringing technique.
Many thousands of years old, the skill has been handed down to Jeanette from generations of artists before her
The lustrous, opalescent Mariner shells collected along the Tasmanian coastline are rare, particularly with the temperature rise caused by climate change.
To collect the amount of shells required to produce a substantial range of jewellery can take two to three years. Jeanette stringently follows the cultural protocols, and as a senior custodian of the stringing practice, she has a committed dedication to ensuring the process remains the same for future generations of Palawa women.
Natural, traditionally strung Maireener shells.
Sterling silver clasp and chain.
