Conch Shell

The Conch Shell represents its early use as a functional tool and symbol of island life. Indigenous Taíno people shaped conch shells into tools for farming and hunting, valuing both their strength and versatility. The design reflects the shell’s natural curves and spiral form, echoing the sea.

Sailors later used the conch as a horn, or Tutu, sounding it to signal their presence at sea or announce arrival to shore. Today, the Conch Shell honors resourcefulness, communication, and survival, carrying forward traditions rooted in both land and ocean.
