The cowrie range

Introducing a very special shell...

Many people throughout history have found (and still find) the very rounded, shiny, porcelain-like shells of cowries pleasing to look at and to handle (especially me!).  Shells of certain species have historically been used as currency in several parts of the world, as well as being used, in the past and present, very extensively in jewellery and for other decorative and ceremonial purposes.

All cowrie pendants are available in silver, 9ct/18ct yellow gold, white gold, rose gold and platinum.
