Since ancient times, shells have been thought to possess healing and spiritual properties. It is believed that shells were used as decorations, amulets and religious objects as far back as 20,000 B.C. Throughout the Mediterranean civilizations, the Middle East, and the Pacific, shells were used both as a Goddess symbol and to work magic for healing, fertility, rebirth and good luck (from "Crystal Enchantments: A Complete Guide to Stones and Their Magical Properties").
This necklace is made with a silver-plated shell, sterling silver coral branch, freshwater pearl, coral, and sterling silver findings.
