Hinge teeth? Lunules? We're not sure exactly what they are, but pretty sure they're tiny parts from mollusk shells.
These have been around for a long time -- we found jewelry and small boxes decorated with them (shell art was quite the midcentury rage for those with time on their hands) while we were sifting through a three generation estate a while back. We're not sure who dyed the ones that have been colored, but we were admittedly tempted to try this with our various inks, and wonder if perhaps the resident crafter did this herself?
We couldn't find these crafting parts online. We haven't seen them anywhere else. We're including a photo of the star that accompanied them for a sense of size, because why not? Whatever the case, we thought it best to not let them slide into the dustheap of history.
Placing an order will get you one dozen (12) of these itty bitty oddities and the aforementioned origin story to accompany them as they continue on their journey.

Shipping
The Fine Print• 100% secondhand packaging
• intentionally slow in-house service levels
• ground shipping only
This is climate-competent commerce, and we talk a bit more about each of these strategies on our 'official' shipping policy page:
-
Proactive Satisfaction + Refunds
Refund policyWe have adopted a 'generally generous' approach to fulfilling many of our product listings, as sending a wee bit extra can avoid costly errors & 'fix it' shipments (besides, we find most folks appreciate the occasional freebie).
.
That said, if you would prefer to avoid the extras, we will gladly rightsize or downsize your order on request (product price would remain the same because more labor + less product = wash). If you prefer this option, please include a detailed order note to specify the quantity you wish to recieve (i.e. 'please send precise count of 7 for XYZ product').
.
As a rule, we discourage returns - but we also don't abide crappy customer experiences. To initiate issue resolution in the event that we miss the boat with your order (gaps happen!), head to our refund policy page (linked here - and at the bottom of any page) to get started.
