Vintage-Style Naga Conch Shell Mala Beads (11-14mm)

Beautiful conch shell mala beads featuring a warm, natural ivory and cream coloration with subtle tan and brown markings. Each bead is individually shaped and polished from natural shell, giving the strand an organic character with slight variations in color, shape, and surface texture. Traditionally, conch shell has held spiritual and ceremonial significance throughout South Asia and the Himalayan regions, where shell beads have long been incorporated into malas, necklaces, and other devotional adornments. Each strand measures approximately 42 inches long, with beads measuring approximately 9–12mm long x 11–14mm in diameter. Bead dimensions may fall anywhere within this range; this does not mean that every individual strand contains beads spanning the entire size range. Most strands are relatively uniform in diameter, although some may display greater natural variation. As these are genuine shell beads, expect differences in coloration, markings, shape, and texture from bead to bead and strand to strand.
