- Shell_jewelry abstract "Shell jewelry is jewelry (a form of personal adornment) which in this case is primarily made from seashells, the shells of marine mollusks. Shell jewelry is a type of shellcraft. One very common form of shell jewelry is necklaces that are composed of large numbers of beads, where each individual bead is the whole (but often drilled) shell of a small sea snail. Numerous other varieties of shell jewelry are made, including bracelets and earrings. Occasionally shell jewelry is made from the shells of land snails [1], or the shells of freshwater mollusks.Shell jewelry also uses the shells of clams (bivalves) and sometimes uses tusk shells (scaphopods). Not all shell jewelry is made from whole shells; some kinds are made from parts of shells, including the shell layer known as mother of pearl or nacre.In recent times, inexpensive shell jewelry is often for sale in tropical beach destinations, where it is offered to tourists as informal wear or as a souvenir. However, shell jewelry has a very ancient past and is of great importance in archeology and anthropology. In fact, shell beads are the oldest form of jewelry know, dating back over 100,000 years.".
