Shell Art II

Sea shells have been used for many purposes: as currency, tools, for studies and collections. The use for shells as jewelry even dates back to prehistoric times.

Shell jewelry is still as fashionable and trendy as ever. It can be purchased in many stores and online, but lots of people have taken up creating shell jewelry as a hobby.

Bracelets and necklaces are probably the most known shell jewelry among people, but there are also earrings made out of shells available.

To make the shells usable for jewelry, whether that be a necklace or earrings, small holes have to be drilled in the shell.

I am not quite sure whether you can buy them already prefabricated, or if you will have to do that yourself. It seems to me to be an intricate and time robbing endeavour though, to drill such small holes at the right places.

I suppose it all comes down to practice. You will eventually know the drill. :-)
