Cowrie shell & molten silver hoop necklace
Cowrie shell & molten silver hoop necklace
The Trivia Artica cowrie (Northern cowry) used in this pendant was ethically collected by the maker on the Isle of Tiree and has been coupled with an organically formed recycled sterling silver molten ring. The handcrafted bail is also made with recycled sterling silver and hangs from an 18" sterling silver trace chain.
The molten ring has a diameter of 1.8cm and the cowrie shell is 1cm long.
This would make a lovely matching set with the molten sea glass earrings photographed here for reference but not included.
