Clams aren’t just for foodies or proud New Englanders; remember that these harmless shells are responsible for creating one of the world’s most valuable gemstones.
Ancient civilizations prized clams for their succulent meat and beautiful pearls, and in many cultures, seashells symbolize the precious richness of life.
In the clam place, partying and love go hand in hand; After all, there’s a reason Venus, the goddess of love, beauty and joy, is depicted rising from the sea on a seashell. That’s wealth in its most unlikely form, and isn’t that the best kind?
Whether or not you choose to include a pearl in your seashell tattoo, this incredibly alluring symbol can be worn in a variety of ways and styles. Brightly colored or rendered in Victorian nautical black and white, open or closed, the clam was a piece of jewelry for the man who displayed his wealth with modest dignity and even maybe a wink.
It may look like a plain clamshell and not be too appealing to some, but *you* know what’s actually inside.
