And though the suitcase staple (usually purchased alongside an oversize inflatable and novelty fridge magnet) may have had you teeth-gritting ever since, it might be time to rethink all of that. Speaking of teeth, that was exactly what my father referred to the puka shells as, in true dad joke fashion. Well father, you're about to choke on your piña colada because this nostalgic necklace has become chicer than ever. Thanks to jewellery designers like Aurélie Bidermann and Tohum, who have revised the way we wear the humble puka, along with key influencers working shelled jewellery into their ensembles, this accessory has gone from fad to fashionable. From hair rings to hoop earrings, read on for all the ways you can style shells into your outfit. Then relive a snapshot of those childhood holidays, and shop them for yourself.
