In Abelam culture, the clam shell yua ring is a significant item used in bride price ceremonies. The ring, made from the shell of a giant clam, is highly valued and symbolizes wealth and status. It is exchanged as part of the bride price, reflecting the groom's family's commitment and respect towards the bride's family. The yua ring is not only a form of currency but also carries deep cultural and spiritual meaning, representing the bond between the families and the continuity of tradition.
