Cowrie Necklace

Sterling Silver Cowrie Shell made on the Isle of Arran.

As the tide retreats, the sea leaves us her ocean treasures on the shore

This cowrie shell pendant is cast from a shell my children found on Blackwaterfoot beach while out looking for 'treasures'.

The cowrie shell also known as a groatie bucket once housed a sea snail before washing ashore empty.

A love of Cowrie shells suggests that you could be family to an ocean spirit of wealth and earth. It is also thought to represent the Goddess of protection in the ocean and good luck

My jewellery is individually hand-crafted or made in small batch production and hand-finished - this is reflected in the final finish of each piece. This means that it will not be the same as machine made or mass-produced jewellery. Instead, it gives each of my designs a special artisanal touch.
