Cowrie Shells have many different meanings.  Because of their shape, hey can be viewed as symbols of womanhood, fertility, birth, therefore, these are also known as elixir or giver of life which is why wearing a Cowrie Shell jewelry is always a good idea  Beyond its feminine ties, the cowrie shell also represents prosperity. This shell was used as a form of currency in parts of Africa and has since been regarded as a symbol of prosperity. According to some African legends, Cowrie Shells represent the goddess of protection who was highly powerful and is connected with the strength and power of the Ocean. This Cowrie shell inparticular was cast from a shell gifted to me as a good luck token when we moved into our first home. Attached to a 2.5mm round wire bangle. The bangle comes in 5 sizes, X-Small (19cm Circumference), Small (20cm Circumference), Medium, (21cm Circumference), Large (22cm Circumference) and X-Larger (23cm Circumference). We like to wear ours stacked up with a few stacking bangles and a few shell charm bangles. Each item is handmade and packaged in a small grey velvet pouch that can be used to polish your jewellery when needed and posted completely plastic free.
