Hidden within each iridescent vein is the deep ocean where light glides across the water's surface, dissolving into mystical shades of blue, purple, and pink. The Nine-Hole Abalone Necklace carries the breath of the sea, a crystallization of this rare mollusk with its nine distinctive small holes, a symbol of longevity and good fortune.

Each piece of abalone shell is carefully selected, polished, and buffed by the artisan, allowing its natural sheen to radiate like a miniature Milky Way. Combining luxurious elegance with the rustic charm of nature, this necklace becomes a work of art that can be worn.

This piece of jewelry is for free spirits who yearn to be in harmony with nature. It can be a subtle accent to everyday outfits while also symbolizing a spiritual connection with the deep sea.

Waxed cord is a type of cord made from cotton fibers coated with a layer of beeswax, making it durable, waterproof, less prone to fraying, and long-lasting in color. In handmade jewelry, waxed cotton cord is the most popular choice because it is soft, natural, and easy to combine with many materials such as wood, stone, mother-of-pearl, or lacquer, creating a harmonious and lasting beauty.
