Dentalium Smooth White 0.75-1 Inch 100 Pieces Per Bag

Bag contains ~100 shells; bags are not hand counted. Some shells may be broken. Dentalium shells are long, slender, tube-shaped marine shells that have been prized for centuries as decorative and ceremonial adornments. Traditionally used by Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest and other coastal cultures as symbols of wealth, status, and beauty, dentalium shells continue to be valued in contemporary beaded jewelry for their natural elegance and unique shape. Their smooth, elongated form adds texture, movement, and visual interest to necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and woven beadwork designs.
