Sunrise shells are one of the rarest shells in the world, found only in the Hawaiian Islands, and are so precious that they are even referred to as jewels by locals. There is a legend that in the past, only Hawaiian royalty could wear them. The white to orange gradation from the center to the outside of the shell resembles the glow of the morning sun, which is why it came to be called the "sunrise shell." It is said that wearing it brings good luck.
