Wampum comes from the quahog shell traditionally gathered by Northeastern tribes such as the Wampanoag, Narragansett, Pequot, and Lenape, who feasted on the clams and saved the deepest purple inner lining for beadwork. The necklace adjusts from 14 to 26 inches, with a total length of 32 inches from clasp to bottom. Stamped G.

The deep purple comes from quahogs that lived in colder, deeper waters, where the shell grows richer and more powerful. In Lifted work, Wampum is a stone of ancestral connection, truth, and sacred exchange, a reminder that gifts can carry meaning far beyond beauty. This lariat feels like wearing a strand of living history — weighty, intentional, and deeply rooted in tradition — the kind of piece that honors where you come from and elevates the moment you choose to give or wear it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Lifted Realm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48606675992791,"sku":null,"price":1399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/6296\/4183\/files\/IMG_5123.jpg?v=1778638217"},{"product_id":"gilbert-nez-sterling-silver-turquoise-pyrite-statement-ring","title":"Gilbert Nez Sterling Silver Turquoise \u0026 Pyrite Statement Ring","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"257\" data-end=\"655\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eA remarkable expression of Southwestern artistry, this \u003cstrong data-start=\"312\" data-end=\"371\"\u003eSterling Silver Turquoise Statement Ring by Gilbert Nez \u003c\/strong\u003eshowcases an extraordinary natural turquoise gemstone accented by striking \u003cstrong data-start=\"447\" data-end=\"476\"\u003enatural pyrite inclusions\u003c\/strong\u003e.
