Sunrise Shells by MonicaByTheShore

Custom for "Philip", my Canadian client, this signature piece is called " Shell Pile ". The bracelet will compliment the Shell Pile lei necklace that I made for him a few months ago when he visited Oahu. The striking Sunrise Shell centerpiece with green, yellow and pink coloration is mixed with a variety of Seashells that I collected on Ke Iki Beach on the North Shore, Haleiwa, Oahu, Hawaii. The bracelet is strung on silver nylon coated Flexwire (I do not use elastic!) and is finished with sterling silver findings and a toggle clasp.
Wear with Aloha my friend, it was an honor to create for you once again! 🌟🌈💦

Aloha! Meet my Mango Wahine (woman)! She's selling mangos for 5 cents! 🥭 This is an original Rick Sharp "peeled paint" painting on barn board that I've had hanging in my house and boat for years but never used it as a background before now. This mango colored Sunrise Shell called out for her today! This beautiful shell is full of frilly detail and ruffles and is 1 1/8 inch in size, with 3 mango colored Swarovski Crystals to accent. The sterling silver rope chain is 18 inches. The top of the shell blends into a very pretty pale pink color, my camera didn't do the shell colors justice.

Together we can get thru these difficult times, it takes Community, and we All have something we can offer to ease the stress, Yes?! Aloha Always 💖

Fossilized Mako Shark Tooth Necklace. The Mako Shark Tooth is perfectly shaped and is 1 1/2 inch long, 1 1/2 inch wide at the top.

The necklace is 18 inches long and drapes so nicely! I wore it all day and really love it!

Every once in a while I Google about Sunrise Shells and it never fails, I see my shells, my photos and sometimes my exact text on other people's websites or even in galleries! It's happened too many times to waste my time checking, but this gallery in Kailua wrote up a very nice summary about me, so I thought I would share it! LOL! Forgive me for not advertising their gallery as they do not and have never carried any of my jewelry, they are only using my name! I * CORRECTED * some of their false claims in parentheses (*).

The Photo attached to this post just might be the most copied photo on the internet, IDK, maybe Bad Bunny or Taylor Swift have me beat, but I've sure seen my postcard photo on a lot of other people's sites! I took this photo in 2009, it's been used as a canvas wrap art and paper matted print, a postcard, coasters, placemats, fabric, coffee cups, iPhone cases, calendars - etc... all by Me!

Oh Welllllll..... no biggie, the world will still wobble. 🌎 Just seems like after all these years people would find their own creativity rather than highjack someone else's. 🤙🏼

Mahalo to the most beautiful Mermaid, Tara Coyote - The Kaua'i Mermaid for the shoutout about the Sunrise Shell I chose for her! Tara is a stage 4 cancer survivor and author and she also works with her horses to heal and rehab others. She has the most AMAZING Mermaid tails I’ve ever seen and has swam with whales, dolphins and sharks all over the South Pacific! Give her a follow!!🧜‍♀️

Here’s a few new Sunrise Shells from a recent dive - some unusual colors, all larger sized. None of these shells have been cleaned yet, only soaked in fresh water, so their colors will be more bold after I clean them. Let me know if one catches your eye, I can make anything you want!
