Although shell jewellery in itself is already a knock-out favorite among accessory lovers and jewelry collectors, many variations of the pure shell ornaments are already being offered to more discriminating clients. Of course, shell ornaments are perfect for the beach and for tropical vacations. However, pairing them with other materials like natural stones and precious metals makes the creations far more valued and more creative.
Shell cutouts and heishe can be paired with pearls for example, when creating earrings, necklaces, and bracelets. Many manufacturers have been combining these two materials due to their wide appeal and compatibility. Pearls are also available in a wide variety of colors, from pink and white, to gray and black. Their versatility and extensive availability make them perfect for shell-made pieces.
Corals
are also perfect when paired with shell jewelries. Corals are also being extensively used for jewelry items and are available in many colors as well. You can always see coral necklaces and bracelets anywhere, and when these are combined with shell heishe, the items become more inventive and original. Wooden heishe especially those made from coconut and other more flexible wood types are also great for sea shells as jewelry. Often hand painted for added design and flair, wood and sea shell chips are refreshing together.
Finally, shell is also often combined with silver and gold for a more luxurious and fabulous take on the traditional sea shell pieces. Sea shell earrings may be made with gold clips or sea shell strand necklaces may be combined with pure silver or gold pendants. Although more expensive, many clients still love these pricier and definitely more remarkable designs.
