Add a nautical touch to your creations with this 21-mm natural cowrie shell pendant featuring a delicate gold finish in the center.
Closed Ring
This natural cowrie shell puts a fresh spin on a summer jewelry staple, with gold accents that highlight its central opening and contrast with its light hue. At 21 mm, it makes a bold enough statement to serve as the focal point of a piece of jewelry while remaining easy to pair with other components. A ring at the top of the pendant allows it to be attached to a chain, a jump ring, or another type of findings. Since this is a genuine shell, its shape, color, and small irregularities may vary slightly from piece to piece: these differences are part of its natural character.
What can you do with this cowrie shell?
Turn it into a necklace pendant on a gold chain, and pair it with pearlescent beads, colored stones, or seed beads to create a piece of jewelry with a nautical flair. It can also be used as a small charm on a bangle: the combination of several patterns featured in this gold bangle with cowrie shells gives you a good idea of the possibilities. For a more bohemian look, mix cowrie shells with flowers, sun patterns, or other sea-inspired elements.
Do you prefer earrings? Use two identical pendants or create an asymmetrical pair by adding chains, tassels, or colorful beads. The interplay of materials in these earrings—featuring red fringe and cowrie shells —offers an interesting way to combine the shells with fabric elements and create more movement.
