5 out of 5 starsNia:wen/thank you! The shipping was fast! The necklace and packaging will be a perfect gift for my host in Denmark. P.S. if a person is interested in additional wampum history for context of this great product, there is an exhibition of wampum belts on at the McCord Museum in Montreal. Also, one can Google “Wampum Chronicles” anytime. On:en, Jason, I’ll be back for a necklace for myself! Elizabeth

5 out of 5 starsWorkmanship is exceptional…As was customer service…Pleased with my purchase… THANK YOU JASON…!!!… A SIZING NOTE: My bracelet was made to wrist measurement over knuckle…It is loose when compared to other bracelets I will be wearing w/ this one…If you wish it to be snugger recommend taking a 1/2 or so off of measurement…
Jason responded on Nov 20, 2023
When sizing bracelets I ask for a wrist measurement, which is the circumference of the wrist over the wrist bone. I then add 3/4” to that measurement to account for the thickness of the beads. I did not explain that well enough and my friend Larry gave me the bracelet size, to which I added 3/4”. On future orders I will make sure people know I’m asking for their wrist measurement, not their bracelet size.
About JasonWiddissWampum

First I go out and dig the quahogs. -
Then, each shell must be cleaned and sawed into small pieces for shaping -
I use a rough grinding wheel to take the excess off, use a high grit wheel to get the final shape -
Then they're drilled, polished and sorted into piles of usable and unusable beads to be strung into jewelry
