[Sold in a 15.5 inches strand] Introducing our vibrant Red Spiny Oyster Shell Heishi Beads, perfect for adding a pop of color to your jewelry designs. Our Spiny Oyster Shell Beads are carefully selected for their quality and beauty, ensuring that each bead is polished to a smooth finish and drilled with consistent 1.5mm holes for easy use.
Our Red Spiny Oyster Shell Heishi Beads also have cultural and historical significance, as they have long been valued by Native American communities for their use in traditional jewelry and art. By incorporating these beads into your designs, you are not only adding a stunning visual element but also paying homage to the rich history and culture of the Southwest and Native American people.
Red Spiny Oyster Shell is considered rare because it is only found in a limited geographic area and is only available in certain seasons. The Spiny Oyster itself is found in warm waters off the coasts of Mexico, the United States, and South America, but only a small portion of these oysters produce the vibrant orange color that is highly sought after in the jewelry-making industry.
Additionally, the Spiny Oyster is a slow-growing organism, taking up to 10 years to reach maturity, which makes the availability of the red Spiny Oyster Shell even more limited. This rarity contributes to its high value and desirability in the jewelry-making industry.
Finally, the Spiny Oyster is also harvested by Indigenous peoples for traditional jewelry-making purposes, which adds another layer of cultural significance and value to the Red Spiny Oyster Shell. Overall, the combination of limited availability, slow growth, and cultural significance make the orange Spiny Oyster Shell a rare and highly prized material in the world of jewelry-making.
