Our BOLITA design is our twist on the original bolo, with a flare of feminine and sexy + inspired by the southwest. These bolitas are dsigned for women and are more versatile than a traditional necklace. They can be worn on bolo length cord, worn as a bolo choker, or converted onto a silver chain.
This lady bolo features a gorgeous piece of spiny oyster that has a hand stamped design around the gemstone. It hangs on tan, choker length cord and is finished with silver and turquoise tips. It is a playful and bright piece. If you would like a shorter or different color cord, please let me know in the notes at checkout.

Spiny Oysters, also known as Spondylus, are marine animals found in the warm waters of the Sea of Cortez. The shell has been worn as an adornment for millennia by Native Americans and has a playful energy. It ignites creativity, imagination and self expression. There are three general variations of the gemstone. Orange shells are harvested in shallow waters. Coral shells in slightly deeper waters. And purple is harvested in the deepest. Purple is no longer allowed to be collected due to climate change and loss of ecosystems, which makes this piece extra special. But don’t you worry, this gemstone was collected back in the 80’s.
