Abalone & Puaa Shell Jewelry

This collection features handcrafted Abalone and Puaa shell jewelry, each piece shaped by hand and finished in our family’s Oklahoma studio. No two shells are ever the same, and that natural variation is honored in every design.

Our shell work is inspired by the vast caches of shell uncovered at Spiro Mounds in Oklahoma, a major cultural and trade center of the Mississippian world. Shell was a highly prized and widely traded material, valued for both its beauty and its significance.

The earliest Southeastern gorgets were made from shell, a tradition that speaks to endurance, craftsmanship, and connection across generations. Our Abalone and Puaa shell pieces continue that legacy rooted in history, made to last, and created with respect for the materials and stories they carry.
