Black Crow Shell - Necklace
Black crow shell necklace, 50 cm length
he striking jewellery produced by Palawa Tasmanian artist Aunty Jeanette James using traditional Palawa shell stringing techniques. These skills are many thousands of years old and are handed down matrilineally.
The Mariner shells collected along the coastline of Lutruwita are rare. To gather the shells required to produce a range of jewellery can take two to three years.
Aunty Jeanette stringently follows cultural protocols. 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.
The rich black of the crow shells, with their delicate creamy white interior makes this a striking necklace for any occasion or outfit, day or night.
