Summertime brings the return of shell jewelry to our collection, and this piece is an absolute stunner. Radiating aloha in a symphony of colors, this necklace features a gorgeous Sunrise Shell on a beaded opal chain and sterling silver clasp. It was lovingly handcrafted by the Wings Hawaii artisans in our Haiku, Maui studio.
Sunrise Shells are a type of small scallop native to the Hawaiian Islands. As the story goes, these rare gems were once the exclusive property of Hawaiian royals. They were thought to be sacred and would bestow blessings to the wearer. To find one these days, you either have to go deep diving, or wish for luck during your sunrise beach stroll. The Sunrise Shell represents the Aloha spirit, hope, strength, happiness, and joy.
Opal is a stone of inspiration and originality, which enhances imagination and creativity. Its own spirit is at times that of a child; spontaneously playing, dashing color wherever it pleases. Opal will help you to open up to the simple joys and pleasures of life. It’s connected to the solar plexus, heart and crown chakras. Wearing or having Opal around you will activate psychic abilities and connect you with the cosmic consciousness. A great stone for those needing to release anger, step into self-worth and express oneself. Opal is the birthstone for October and corresponds with the astrological signs of Cancer and Libra.
