We love to find shells and we love to turn these seashore gems into wearable art. Granulated Cowries are a native shell, a perfect "face" like this one is always an exciting find.
In the ancient world, Cowrie shells were valued as amulets. The resemblance of the evil eye is thought to ward off bad spirits. Cowries are also knows as the symbol of femininity and fertility with women wearing them not only to help conceive but also give birth. In some African cultures, the cowrie was used as currency. This shell is endemic to Hawai’i and is exceptionally beautiful!
