Gemstone: Shell

Sourced directly from the island by Hannah, Kauai’s seashells are beloved by the Hannah Blount Jewelry studio for their lush color palette and the nostalgia they invoke. A colorful oasis of natural beauty, Kauai's history is as rich as its biodiversity which is reflected in the fine points and hues of each shell. The simplistic silhouettes of these shells make way for hidden, intricate details while serving as a canvas for classic HBJ designs.
Origins: Kauai Island, Hawaii
Care: Shells are made up of organic materials and should be treated with particular care: please avoid putting your shell jewelry on abrasive surfaces or knocking or dropping your piece. To keep your shell jewelry clean, use warm water and a cloth gently. Do not use a steam cleaner or ultrasonic cleaner. Avoid exposing your shell jewelry to chemicals, oils, soaps, etc. at all costs.
