Real Hawaiian Puka Shell Necklace Sandra's Glitz 'n Gl...
In Hawaii people of all ages adorn themselves with these island jewels of the sea. They are also one of the most popular necklaces that visitors seek out when they are vacationing on the beautiful islands of Hawaii including myself. I added a twist to these beautiful white shells by adding beautiful coral color shells in their natural state. In Ancient Hawaiian days, there were no drills or machines to help in making jewelry. The reason why Puka shells were traditionally used is because the shell is naturally polished by the ocean and the hole which the necklace is strung by, is also naturally formed. Real Puka shells have much more value than clam shells because of how Puka shell holes are naturally formed and polished by the ocean as opposed to the man-cut and drilled clam shells. You can spot a fake because Puka shells have spirals in the inside and are not cut clam shells. This beautiful handmade Hawaiian Puka Shell Necklace measures 20". Perfect for Summer, the beach, or anytime you just want to look cool.
