AAA South Sea Shell White / Orange Necklace. 20 mm coin snail shape. Silver Plated Magnetic Clasp. These beads are made from Shiva Eye shells, also known as Naga conch shells, which are naturally occurring marine gastropod shells found primarily in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. The distinctive spiral pattern is created naturally by the mollusk, with each shell displaying unique coloration and swirl patterns. The shells are harvested, cleaned, and polished to create these decorative beads. Shiva Eye shell beads are highly valued in jewelry making and craft communities for their striking natural patterns and symbolic significance. In many cultures, particularly in Hindu traditions, these shells are considered sacred and are associated with Lord Shiva, hence the name. Collectors and artisans prize these beads for their natural beauty, spiritual significance, and the fact that each bead features a unique pattern, making them popular components for creating distinctive handcrafted jewelry.
