The Wampum shell has always been popular in the North Eastern states. Eastern Coastal Nations used it as a form of trade/currency. A popular use for Wampum bead is its use in "treaty belts". Historically the darker the purple, the more the shell was worth. We hope you like our work. This ring has a number of man hours into its construction. Nothing is from a mold or is prefabricated on this ring. So the shank, plate, and bezel are all hand cut. The ring is shaped and heated by hand. The petals are all hand shaped and so are the silver balls.
The shells are cut and polished with lapidary equipment.
The ring comes in multiple sizes.
