Description:
Shells represent a source of wealth and were traded locally as well as long distance. Artists worked the shells into various forms of jewelry. This series of shell rings were manufactured from clam shells. The artist chose similar-sized shells and paid attention to the inner and outer diameters of the base shell ring. This could be achieved by wearing away or abrading the shell ring.
