The Cowrie shell is typically the exoskeleton of a tiny sea snail. It was an acceptable means of currency from ancient times all the way up to the 1800s. Colloquially the phrase "ek-cowrie" or one cowrie is used to say- almost nothing. This statement ring has been designed to highlight the shell in all its natural grandeur. This ring is worn as a knuckle ring and covers all 4 fingers. Made from a giant cowrie clasped with brass.

- Care: We believe that Jewels should go on adventures with you. The more you use it, the more you imprint on your piece and begin to the earthy colours of the brass underneath. To maintain its original finish- it must be handled with love, kept away from moisture and stored in airtight bags (like the one your jewellery came in). If you'd like to repair your piece or learn more about how to take care of it, reach out to us!
