Island Girl Brass and Shell Bangle Bracelet

The natural beauty and sustainability of shell jewelry made in the Philippines is popular for several reasons. For centuries, craftsmen have transformed raw seashells into stunning inlays for jewelry. Each piece undergoes meticulous cutting, carving, and polishing to bring out its iridescence.

In Pacific Islander communities, shell bracelets denote high rank and are worn during ceremonial gatherings. Wearing shell jewelry connects people to the sea, emphasizing the Philippines’ coastal lifestyle and maritime heritage. Abalone shell is associated with emotional balance, tranquility, and protection. It also is believed to enhance intuition, imagination, and creativity, making it useful for artists and writers.
