What to make with them
Their natural tube form makes them well-suited for fringe work, heishi-style stringing, and hair adornment pieces where length and texture do the talking. They also work beautifully as spacers between focal elements in Indigenous-inspired regalia and ceremonial jewelry, where authentic shell carries real cultural weight.

Description
Dentalium are small tusk shaped univalve mollusks. These little shells were used for adornment as well as money amongst Pacific coastal tribes. Most Dentalium available in today's bead and jewelry market is imported from Asia. This Asian Dentalium is more brittle than the Dentalium originally used by Native tribes.
