Did you know?
The cauri shell is also known as "porcelain money", as it has long been used as a medium of exchange in Black Africa and Asia. In some countries, they were used for religious ceremonies and as good-luck charms.
How do I use cowrie shells?
It's very simple: thread a series of cowrie shells onto a waxed thread to create a DIY bracelet. Finish with a macramé knot so you can easily adapt the bracelet to your wrist. Don't forget to tie knots between the shells to separate them.
Make a wire bracelet by passing a waxed cord through the two holes, tying a knot on each side, then adding a stopper bead that will enable you to adjust this piece of jewelry to the size of your bracelet.
Make an original lucky charm bracelet with a mix of materials! It's the perfect gift to give or wear all summer long.
