- Symbolism: Because of its hard casing, the Shell is a protective image, protecting life (sheltering pearls for example) and also symbolizes the protective quality love sometimes takes. In Roman mythology, Venus, the goddess of love, was said to be created from the foam carried ashore atop a scallop shell. The Hindu goddess Lakshmi was said to also be created from the grit and pearls within the shell. Also in Hinduism the conch shell is symbolic because it awakens the heart of the faithful and calls to those who live with heart-filled love.

Care Cleaning Tips: Natural sea shells are naturally porous similar to mother of pearl shells, pearls, sea coral, etc. As such, it is not recommended to use alcohol-based cleaners or mild soaps mixed with water for cleaning as these chemicals might penetrate the shell's surfaces and dull their appearance. Simply use a cloth moistened with warm water to wipe of dirt and skin oils. For normal routine cleaning, just rinse in warm water; gently shake-off excess water, pat dry and gently polish with a soft cloth. With Proper Care Your Shell Necklace Will be Enjoyed for Many Years.
