This is a really small perlemoen shell which makes it light to hang from a shepherd’s hook. These have a small shepherds hook and have been reinforced for extra strength where the hook joins the silver shells.  The shell is about 1.7 cm at its longest point, and around 3cm from shepherd’s hook bend to the shell base.

INTERESTING INFORMATION

Perlemoen shells of this size, in a perfect condition with all the wavy surface ridges unworn, and none of the holes damaged, are seldom found. When found, they have often fallen victim to a starfish and have a tiny hole drilled through the top of their shell, or have been the victim of shifting beach sand which builds up on a part of the reef where they are living, and suffocates them , or forces them to the surface where they are eaten by birds.

Since this shell has good structural strength, we managed to cast all the detail both on the inside and outside of these perfect little silver shells.

Enjoy this pair 😊
