Lion’s paw shell comes from a bivalve that lives in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The fascinating shell has prominent textured ridges with knobs that call to mind a lion’s paw, hence its name. Sandra Quandelacy’s collectible Corn-Maiden and Grandmother pendant necklace features a stunning sampling of orange lion’s paw shell specimens. Representing intuitive strength and nurturing power, each feminine fetish has etched facial features, including some Dragonfly and star elements, all filled with jet paste. They range in size from about 1 1/4″ to 2″ long. The stunning necklace is about 26″, a fashionable length. Some of the laced beads include red coral and pearls.
