The trend is to wear these shells in accumulation , "stacking" in English. You can either alternate natural cowrie shells and cowrie shells in metal or wear your cowrie bracelet with other bracelets in laces or leather cords . And why not a bracelet woven in Miyuki pearls ?

The cauri is a shellfish that has long been used as a bargaining chip or in addition to the CFA franc in some African countries.

The yarn used is a special micro macramé yarn that is covered with a wax. This is Linhasita wire. This wax prevents knots from loosening easily. The knots between the golden baubles and the cowries are simple knots, sometimes doubled. The sliding knot used is a flat knot also known as a macrame knot.
