This type of jewelry holds the secrets of the sea. It is a very vivid natural color - red, orange, brown, yellow and white, which is formed by the shells of spiny oysters of the genus Spondylus, with the white part coming from the bottom of their shell. These oysters live mainly in the warm waters of the Sea of Cortez, Baja California in Mexico. Jewelry made from shells is a symbol of the ocean, representing the calm and peace of the deep waters, promoting understanding and patience.

The Navajo Indians used shells to make traditional jewelry, especially beads, along with natural turquoise.
