Rare antique king Maireener shell necklace
THE most special and striking antique Maireener shell necklace I have ever seen!
The necklace features large king Maireener shells with a gorgeous green base colour, shimmering blue-green AB rainbow lustre and delicate pink tips. At approximately 1.3 cm in length, the shells are substantial in size. The necklace is finished with an extra-large, beautifully shimmering green seashell pendant, making this a striking and rare piece.
Maireener shell necklaces hold deep cultural and historical significance. For hundreds of years, Tasmanian Aboriginal women have painstakingly collected, cleaned and hand-drilled these tiny shells to create necklaces of extraordinary beauty and craftsmanship. Antique Maireener necklaces are treasured for both their artistry and their connection to Tasmanian Aboriginal history.
