Handmade
Materials: Quahog clam shell

“Color: Like sapphires and rubies, value is all about color. Some quahogs have no purple at all. Most shells have a little purple on the inside surface, but the color does not go much below the surface. A few quahogs have quite a bit of purple that goes deep into the shell, sometimes with nice banding. And a few very rare shells have intense purple that extends deep into the shell. These are the most desirable ones for making jewelry. The amount of color is partly due to genetics, and partly due to the minerals in the mud or sand where the quahog grows.“

All Wash Ashore Store leashes, collars and fobs are crafted from rope I find washed ashore on my travels (*unless otherwise reclaimed, ex. Fishing buybacks or donations), primarily in the northeastern US. Most of the rope that is found washed ashore is from lobster pots that break free during storm surges or from commercial fishing boats. However, I also find some rope from private boats, which tends to be more of a cotton blend.
