Description

Dramatic and bold, this Shell Beaded/Silver Necklace and Earrings makes an authentically African addition to any ensemble. The cowrie shell is an important symbol that is steeped in a rich, ancient tradition in Africa. It symbolizes both spiritual connection to the ocean and goddess and material, earthly wealth. The necklace is made of coils of adjustable black cord and beads with white cowrie shells and silver beads on the sides. The sides converge on a large, round, white pendant. Hanging from the pendant are tapering rows of cowrie shells and silver beads. Comes with dangly earrings of cowrie shells and silver beads. The necklace is 7” in length and will adjust up to 30”. Earrings are 3” in length. Made in the Phillipines. J-S717
