Nice "p.a.r.a.p.h.e.r.n.a.l.i.a." Willem.

Are that 3 little shells on the shell bracelets attached with some kind of gutta percha?
I also like the "mat" (which they had attached behind them to sit on), you have on the pua!

Hi Maurice,

Yes, these are some shell like pieces.
I have seen them on necklaces too.

I think it is not the entire shell, but a part of shell, grinded down, or maybe some kind of closure/cap found on some shells.
