Earrings by PoyBell are handmade polymer clay earrings inspired by Palauan money beads. Early Palauans used beads of colored glass or high-fired clay  as money in a complex exchange system. Each piece was named, its clan ownership known, and its specific shape memorized by Palau’s elders. A clan’s history can be told through its money and the money continues to be used in traditional marriage, funerals, and first birth ceremonies to this day.
