SUNRISE SHELLS

In this collection I introduce you to Sunrise Shell in an exquisite variety of colors, sizes, and qualities of this unique and very sacred shell to the Hawaiian culture. Sunrise shells are  a small scallop native to the Hawaiian Islands. The scallop lives in very deep waters of the hawaiian ocean (approximately 300–600 ft.) ; as a result, these beautiful and colorful shells are extremely rare to find on the beach. I work with a few professional divers who risk their lives to find these jewels of the sea, For our love and respect to the Mother Earth, none of these shells have been taken alive. They are wrapped in a minimalist style.
