How to care for shell jewelry — personal experience

[tommycooper]

I noticed a lot of beachside shops selling shell pieces that look super fragile right out the gate. Some cords are too thin, or the clasps don’t feel sturdy. I usually give everything a little test tug before buying now. Noticed that the better-made ones, especially with thicker threading or waxed cord, tend to last way longer even without special care.
