Shell money is still part of everyday life in the Solomons and many other pacific countries. They come in a series of colours with the highest value in the following order - red, orange, brown, black and white. The shells are first broken roughly into circular discs, the sides are then flattened and smoothed using an abrasive powder and water. These bracelets were originally necklaces; however over time some of them have broken, therefore it made sense to recycle them into these original wrapped wire bracelets.
