Vintage Gold Trimmed Genuine Quahog Shell Pendant Soft Pink and Mauve Natural Banding Beach Jewelry

This one is a genuine quahog shell in soft blush pink and mauve tones, with the natural concentric growth rings still visible across the surface. Quahog shells are the same hard clam shells historically used to make wampum, prized for exactly this kind of naturally occurring pink and purple banding that no other shell produces. It is finished with a gold dipped trim along the edge and a simple gold jump ring bail, letting the shell's own coloring be the focal point rather than covering it up.

The soft, almost watercolor quality of the pink and mauve banding is entirely natural, not dyed or treated, and it is part of what makes genuine quahog shell jewelry worth seeking out over a molded imitation.

Excellent vintage condition, gold trim intact with no chipping, bail secure. Comes with a cord necklace in your choice of color.
