#tuskshell

Chokers are back in style so I’ve made several with my own twist. Here’s one and there’s more on www.AveRoseStore.etsy.com (link in bio)! This exotic and beautiful choker is made with amber beads. It features a glass vial containing a peacock feather strand sprouting out of a tusk shell that is sealed with a genuine pearl. Tusk shells are from Scaphopods. These deep sea creatures pre-date the dinosaurs. In various parts of history, tusk shells were used as currency. Among the tribes of the Pacific Northwest, strings of tusk shells could be used to purchase livestock, huts and even a wife. #averosejewelry #valentinesgift #tuskshell #naturalscience #choker #oddities #curiosities #gothic #wiccan
