Large Pacific red abalone 4"x 2.2" shell with abalone tie ends on 5mm burgundy kangaroo lace. One of a kind. 30" long
I have a limited collection of red abalone from Northern California. This is abalone that I have hand collected by climbing down cliffs on extremely low tides in Mendocino, CA. It is dangerous and not for the faint of heart. I collect only the finest pieces that have washed up on the rocky shore or been lodged in crevaces under the headlands. I then re tumble the pieces in large vibratory tumblers with walnut shells to achieve an even lustre.
* This is not your average sea shell neklace, it is one of a kind creation. The process from beachcombing to finished product is extensive therefore this piece is unlike anything you will ever own.
This necklace has since sold. I have only two large pieces of like material left to make a similar one of a kind custom design.
