Yellow Sunrise Shell

This traditional shell has a lemon and cream seed bead chain with touches of  pale green and bits of pink coral. I will retake these photos in better lighting, as the color doesn't do it justice. This would really be a nice gift for someone wanting a taste of the islands...

Sunrise Shell 'Clown'

My daughter calls these multi-colored, 'checkered' shells "Clowns". But there are all shades of golds/orange/green/blue and even a touch of peach on this one. It has a fun, matching glass bead chain. It actually looks more random in color than the  photos suggest.

Little Dark Sunrise Shell

Nice little shell and  probably a Moonrise since it has such nice dark bands of greens and gray/blues. Chain represents the shell well with some lemon crystals.

Moonrise Shell from Hawaii

This mottled shell is darker--shades of green/grayblue on the yellow, thus I am calling it a Moonrise Shell rather than a Sunrise Shell. The beadwork is very complimentary with lemons and the aforementioned colors plus a black lava bead here and there.

Red Sunrise Shell from Kauai

Wow--This shell was found yesterday evening in an almost clean state--one of the brightest red-oranges seen so far. It is a little larger than a bottle cap and will clean up nicely. Not sure what the white sections should be called, but it reminds me of a checkerboard!

'Bruised Tiger' Sunrise Shell

This sunrise shell has earned the name of 'bruised tiger' since he has a dark gray-green area running along side his nice stripes and occasional marks here and there. The beads really compliment his coloring...

Sunrise Shell on White

Here's a little yellow-gray shell that features tiger stripes on one side only--there's nothing wrong with not being symmetrical!
