Spotted in bold black and white, drupes are small relatives of the murex found near shallow reefs and rocky shorelines, set here in Hawaiian drupe shell jewelry handmade on the North Shore of Oʻahu in 14k gold-filled or sterling silver.
Mulberry, grape, strawberry, and white-lipped drupes, each one I find while diving, appear in necklaces, earrings, rings, and bracelets, on their own or beside other shells.
For a particular size or pattern, start a custom order. These drupes are pictured in the guide to drupe shells.

I love their black-and-white spots; I call them mini soccer balls. Drupes live near shallow reefs and rocky shores, and they pair beautifully with other shells.
