The ocean has supplied Native American jewelers with some of their most culturally significant materials. Mediterranean red coral, harvested from depths of 30 to 300 meters in the Tyrrhenian and Adriatic seas, arrived in the Southwest through Spanish colonial trade routes. Spiny oyster shell from the Sea of Cortez has been traded northward for over a thousand years. Mother of pearl, abalone, and other marine shells complete a palette of organic materials whose cultural importance rivals turquoise itself.

Discover this exceptional Native American Jewelry Set, meticulously crafted in Sterling Silver. This remarkable set showcases genuine Conch Shell, beautifully complemented by Opal and Turquoise. . The Conch Shell featured in this set carries a rich heritage — Harvested from the warm tropical waters of the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea, conch shell has been a treasured trade material in the American Southwest for thousands of years.
