Shell

Sea shells are one of the most ancient decorations. Their earliest use was to string them into a necklace, or hang them from a cord as pendants. People still use them this way today.

Shells are frequently found cut into hishi beads. This is a simple process that is preformed on beaches through out the world, but especially in the Philippines where most of the commercial hishi comes from. The shells are cut into squares and a hole drilled in the center. They are strung on a wire that is drawn tight. Then they are filed or ground into round shapes. A fine abrasive gives them their finish.

Hishi beads come in a wide variety of colors and sizes. They are very inexpensive and the gemologist is not likely to be asked to identify them.
