This is a Shingle Urchin or Wana.
These are naturally purple and I find them myself here on Maui, Hawaii.
I clean and resin them for durability.
This one is a larger statement piece and is wrapped in my signature wire wrap using Sterling Silver wire.
It hangs on a 20 inch, Sterling Silver, Rollo chain with two Keshi, Akoya pearls at the clasp.
These are a harder to come by urchin because they have an armor plating rather than spikes protecting them. They are vibrant in color and flatter than most urchins I find.
