Remember way back to a time when you were obsessed with neons, fanny packs, braided chokers, and all things smiley-faced? And that was just last week! Well today, we're welcoming the newest '00s trend to come back in full 2019 effect: puka shell jewelry. This unisex and very iconic style was once limited to tightly stacked cowrie shells worn just above the collar bone or on a handmade bracelet. And no matter how you felt about it when you were a wee thing, the jewelry trend now is polished, sophisticated, and better than ever. Scroll on to shop the freshest iteration of beach-ready beads just in time for the saltwater vacations ahead.
