Complex, beautiful and detailed mosaics of stone, horn and shell adorn both sides of the 20mm diameter shell discs. The hole runs through the bead from top to bottom. Beads are sealed to protect the delicate work.
They are light enough for earrings, a perfect shape for bracelets and equally attractive as pendants or focals in necklaces.
These are a product of the highly skilled Philippine shell-working community
Some of the designs remind me of Native American in lay work while others evoke cosmic celestial events, and others are purely expressions of bold geometric designs in black and white. These particular ones evoke for me the open road to exploration...
Philippine shell work has not been seen much in the US in recent years so I'm happy to be able to offer these for your for your creations or collections. Enjoy!
