Where Heritage Meets Modern Style This bold breastplate necklace, made from genuine cowrie shells, bridges the gap between traditional African craftsmanship and contemporary Western fashion. With a 40 cm drop, it sits dramatically on the chest, creating a sculptural focal point.
For centuries across Africa, cowrie shells have held deep symbolic significance. Once used as currency, they have also represented fertility, prosperity, protection, and feminine power. Worn as jewelry, cowries were not just ornaments—they were markers of status, spiritual symbols, and carriers of ancestral meaning.
Today, this piece transforms those roots into a modern statement—powerful, elegant, and unapologetically bold.
