{"product_id":"black-crow-and-kelp-shell-bracelet-traditional-palawa-jewellery","title":"Palawa Shell Bracelet | Black Crow and Kelp","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn authentic Palawa shell bracelet, hand-gathered and hand-strung by Palawa (Tasmanian Aboriginal) artist Aunty Jeanette James, using shells collected locally along Tasmania's coast. Shell stringing is one of the oldest continuing cultural practices in Australia, a craft passed down matrilineally through generations of Tasmanian Aboriginal women. Owning one connects you to that unbroken tradition and to the artist who made it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design pairs lustrous, pearlescent cream kelp shells with matt black crow shells, whose interiors reveal a quiet flash of white. The contrast between the shimmering and the matt gives the piece its character, and because every shell is gathered and strung by hand, no two bracelets are the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 23cm long and just 23g, the bracelet sits lightly on the wrist and is finished with a secure sterling silver clasp. It is elegant enough for significant occasions and understated enough to wear every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRare, authentic and quietly beautiful, this bracelet suits milestone birthdays, farewells, corporate and commemorative gifts, or a considered addition to your own collection. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-gathered and hand-strung by Palawa artist Jeanette James\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShells collected locally on Tasmanian shores\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraditional matrilineal shell-stringing craft, passed down through generations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLustrous pearlescent kelp shells with matt black crow shells (white interior)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSterling silver clasp; 23cm long, 23g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne of a kind, each bracelet is unique\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthentic First Nations craft, ideal for gifts or collectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength: \u003c\/strong\u003e23 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight: \u003c\/strong\u003e23g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black crow and kelp shells hand gathered and hand strung, sterling silver clasp\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKeep dry and store flat, away from perfume, moisture and direct sunlight.
