Hand-Painted, Cowrie Shell Earrings

These earrings are inpsired by the beauty of the natural world. Historically, cowrie shells have symbolized wealth, prosperity, and good luck—they were even used as currency in Africa, Asia, and the Pacific Islands—and they feature in religious rituals as symbols of fertility, protection, and spiritual guidance. I hand-painted each pair. They are lightweight with hypoallergenic, nickel-free surgical steel hooks. With these earrings, you can wear a piece of natural beauty while leaving the real shells undisturbed on the beach.  These earrings are lightweight with hypoallergenic, nickel-free surgical steel hooks.
