Gathang Necklace honours the language of our Ancestors.
A rare Banded Kelp Shell Necklace varying in colour and patterns of the sea in white, pink, grey, dark brown and brown stripes.
It can be worn very long or wrapped twice for a short length look.
These shells are carefully collected on the shores of Worimi Country near Forster NSW, Australia. The collection of shells usually take one to two days shifting through sand and seaweed, a very lengthy but worthwhile process.
Together, the cleaning, sorting, hole punching and threading process usually takes approximately 9-10 hours.
