Welcome

This site has been set up to introduce readers to maireener making using a variety of shells typically collected on the Furneaux Islands in Tasmania's Bass Strait. However, the makers of Aboriginal shell necklaces (maireeners) are licensed under Tasmanian law to collect shells in other parts of Tasmania as well in accord with their ongoing cultural practice of maireener making.

maireener is pallawa kani ( Tasmanian Aboriginal language) used by Tasmanian Aboriginal people for both shell necklaces and the most prized shells used to make maireneers – rainbow kelp shells.

maireneers making is an unbroken and ongoing cultural practice that has been carried out by Tasmanian Aboriginal women for millennia.
