Maireener Shell Earrings | Delicate iridescence First Nations Children Reminiscent of a sewing bobbinSingle maireener shell earrings are handmade by Palawa Tasmanian artist Aunty Jeanette James, using traditional Palawa shell stringing techniques. This cultural practice is many thousands of years old and has been passed down through generations, with Aunty Jeanette recognised as a senior custodian of the tradition. The exquisitely luminous and iridescent maireener (mariner) shells used in these earrings are collected along the Tasmanian coastline.
