This terrific Necklace displays 3 strands of Spiny Oyster Shell Long Chip. The Shell is  a striking burgundy-red with striated white and is graduated, ranging in length from 5-to-20mm. The Spiny Oyster Shell was acquired from Red Shell Jewelry of Gallup, NM, which was founded in 1972 and is a leading purveyor of deep water Spondylous Brodnip Princeps (the scientific name). The Shell is high quality with rich color and smooth polished edges. A true treasure from the sea. We've paired the 3 strands of Spiny Oyster Shell with glossy 6mm burgundy-red Carnelian Rounds, and 4mm translucent gray Fire Polished Glass. The Glass is faceted, giving off an attractive sparkle. The Shell is highlighted by six 11mm Sterling Silver Rounds, which have a scalloped pattern and attractive shine. At the top of the Necklace the 3 strands of Spiny Oyster Shell transition to 3 strands of Fire Polished Glass, streamlining the silhouette and ensuring wearer comfort. The Necklace is finished with Sterling Silver Rounds and Toggle Clasp and adorned with a Southwest Designs Sterling Charm. The piece weighs 126 grams and the 3 strands are 22-1/2, 23-3/4 and 25-1/4 inches long (when wearing, a vertical hang length of about 9-1/2 inches).
