Sea Shell
Making Shell Jewelry
Archaeologists think they have found evidence that in one respect people were behaving like thoroughly modern humans as early as 100,000 years ago: they were apparently decorating themselves with a kind of status-defining jewelry the earliest known shell necklaces. Even in those ages, it was fashionable to create and wear Shell Jewellery. A little imagination and some effort can create exquisite jewelry.
Formed by sea animals for protection, shells become intriguing and beautiful objects once discarded. No two shells are ever alike, with shapes and bands of color of natural interest.
Shells have been collected and strung into necklaces to adorn royalty and to be worn at special ceremonies such as weddings and funerals. They were given to the deceased as a final goodbye to their loved ones. Nowadays they are donned for every occasion as a fashionable trend. Shell jewelries are beautiful reminders of nature's beauty.
Making shell jewelry is not as easy as it seems. The tiny shells are first collected and if the shells are seasonal, months are spent collecting a reasonable quantity. Once the season is over, it is time to string them. Before this one has to perform the tedious task of sorting the shells into different colors and sizes and this is more time consuming than collecting them off the beach. Also usually almost every shell has a tiny rock or piece of sand that must be removed before piercing. One by one, thousands of shells are prepared with a tiny needle and one out of five is discarded due to some imperfection. The most laborious to gather, prepare and thread; they are naturally the most valuable. The length of the piece its colors and stringing method determine its price.
Innumerable varieties of shells and shell jewelry are to be found all over the world. All natural sea shell jewelry materials and natural shell components come from different kinds of fashionable sea jewels like puka, paua, troca, blacklip and brownlip, hammer, nautilus, Mother of Pearl or m.o.p. shell, shell pendants, raw shells, fashion shell jewelry and many others to make natural costume fashion body jewelry and natural shell jewelry.
Exotic colors emanate from the mother-of-pearl nacre of abalone and paua mollusks. These sea reef and rock creatures build the shells as they grow, with rings of colors gray, blue, green, pink and gold. Paua from New Zealand is more brilliant, with color found inside and outside the shell. The nacre inside mollusk shells, like oysters, has a pearly iridescence created by the animal's secretions. After being discarded, the hard inner shell surface is beautifully incorporated into jewelry.
Care
For the maintenance of your shell jewelry, it is recommended to return them to their place of origin. In other words, you can use salt water from the ocean with a toothbrush. If you are land-locked, mix some sea salt with water. If not, then simply taking a dive into the ocean with your shells on is the easiest way of restoring them to their natural beauty. Never apply chemicals or take them into chemically treated water.

How do you 'hear the sea' in a sea shell?
You put it to your ear, you hear gentle sounds of wind and waves washing up on the shore. How does it happen?
" Some people have suggested that the sound you hear from the seashell is the echoing of your blood rushing through the blood vessels of your ear. That is not the case. If that were true, then the sound would intensify after exercising, since your blood races faster after exercising. However, the sound is the same even after exercising.
Others say that the whooshing sound inside the shell is generated by air flowing through the shell - air flowing through the shell and out creates a noise. You'll notice that the sound is louder when you lift the shell slightly away from your ear than it is when the shell is right against your head. However, this theory doesn't hold true in a soundproof room. In a soundproof room, there is still air, but when you hold the seashell to your ear, there's no sound.
The most likely explanation for the wave-like noise is ambient noise from around you. The seashell that you are holding just slightly above your ear captures this noise, which resonates inside the shell. The size and shape of the shell therefore has some effect on the sound you hear. Different shells sound different because different shells accentuate different frequencies. You don't even need the seashell to hear the noise. You can produce the same "ocean" sound using an empty cup or even by cupping your hand over your ear. Go ahead and try it and vary the distance at which you place the cup near your ear. The level of the sound will vary depending on the angle and distance the cup is from your ear.
Noise from outside the shell also can change the intensity of the sound you hear inside the shell. You can look at the shell as a resonating chamber. When sound from outside enters the shell, it bounces around, thus creating an audible noise. So, the louder the environment you are in, the louder the ocean-like sound will be. "
