Black Crow And Maireneer Shell - Necklace
The depth of colour of the black crow shells, with their delicate creamy white interior, strung harmoniously with the lustrous maireener shells makes this a striking necklace for any occasion or outfit, day or night.
The striking jewellery produced by Palawa Tasmanian artist Aunty Jeanette James uses traditional Palawa shell stringing technique. Many thousands of years old, the skill has been handed down matrilineally.
The Mariner shells of LuUtruwita are now rare. Collecting the volume of shells required to produce a substantial range of jewellery can take two to three years.
Aunty Jeanette James stringently follows 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.
