- Each order includes ONE 15.5-inch strand of natural spiny oyster shell beads. These are not ready-to-wear but made for crafting necklaces, bracelets, or earrings. Beads feature lightly rounded edges (prevent chipping & sharpness) and 1.5mm holes, perfect for stringing onto most cords, wires, or elastic for custom designs. [Photos may show multiple strands for visual reference only — this listing includes one strand per order]
- Most people don’t realize that the color of spiny oyster shells reveals the oyster’s age and how deep it lived in the ocean. Orange shells come from the youngest oysters—just 2 to 5 years old—found in shallower waters. Red shells are a bit older, around 5 to 10 years. But purple shells? They’re the rarest and oldest, formed over 10 to 15 years in deep, cold ocean waters. That’s why purple shells have more texture, natural pits, and richer color—each one carries years of ocean history in every bead.
- For centuries, spiny oyster has been prized in Native American jewelry, especially in Navajo and Zuni traditions. These beads reflect that heritage with authentic materials and classic heishi shape, making them perfect for Southwest designs, cultural projects, or collectors who value history and craftsmanship.
- Our shells come from mature spiny oysters sustainably harvested in the Sea of Cortez—not from Asia, and never from baby shells. Each bead is hand-cut and polished in small batches with no chemical treatments, preserving the shell’s natural shine, color, and texture. You get premium quality with real ethical value.
