    Cowrie Shells are beautiful and summery! This cowrie shells necklace is ethereal! A real statement piece for that woman who dares! Funky Frog met such a woman working in Ghana ... she was Australian and would wear a necklace like this as everyday wear ... she looked fabulous!!  This is for someone like her! The necklace hangs down 11". I have about a 14" neck and it fits snug. It felt better for me with a beautiful sea shell coloured silk ribbon tied just a bit looser ... this silk ribbon makes it a one size fits all....

    Cowrie Shells have had great significance to humanity over the years. They were made into jewelry and hair ornaments, used in religious rituals and as protective amulets and up until the late 19th century they were even used as money! They are also a sign of femininity and fertility with women wearing them not only to help them conceive but to help them give birth safely. They bring good luck to the wearer and protect their spirit. And they are just beautiful!
