Shell necklaces from Papua New Guinea are often made using natural materials found in the region, with shells being a prominent component. The shells used in these necklaces are typically sourced from the coastal areas and include various types such as cowrie shells, cone shells, and pearl shells. These shells are prized for their natural beauty and are often polished and shaped before being incorporated into necklaces.

The designs of Papua shell necklaces can vary depending on the specific indigenous group or region. Some necklaces feature intricate patterns and arrangements of shells, while others may combine shells with other materials such as seeds, beads, or feathers to create a more diverse and ornate look. The necklaces are often strung together using natural fibers or threads made from plant materials.

In Papua New Guinean culture, shell necklaces hold cultural and symbolic significance. They are often worn during ceremonial occasions, rituals, or important social events as a way to represent one’s cultural identity, wealth, or social status. The necklaces may also carry spiritual or protective meanings within specific cultural contexts.
