Description
These vintage necklaces come directly from the coastal artisan markets of San Blas, a region known for relaxed surf culture, shell work, and everyday handcrafted jewelry. Each strand blends natural shell chips, carved stone beads, and painted accents that have long defined San Blas beach market design.
The construction is organic and textured, with the natural irregularity expected from handmade coastal pieces. Some strands include smooth stone cylinders, others use hand cut shell discs, and select variants feature painted color sequences. All are lightweight, comfortable, and easy to style.
