I’m inspired by the natural beauty of the ocean, and I make this unique painted cowrie shell necklace from laser-cut birch wood. Cowrie shells have long symbolized wealth, prosperity, and good luck, and were used as currency in Africa, Asia, and the Pacific Islands. They also hold significance in religious rituals, representing fertility, protection, and spiritual guidance. I hand paint each necklace, making it one-of-a-kind, and it features a cord with a 2-inch adjustable chain for the perfect fit. With this necklace, you can wear a piece of nature’s beauty while leaving the real shells undisturbed on the beach.
