Sterling silver cowrie shell bangle, small

• Remove before showering or swimming.

• Store in a sealed bag or box to avoid the silver tarnishing.

• Avoid contact with harsh chemicals.

• Clean regularly with a polishing cloth.

• If you prefer the sea glass to look less frosted, dab a drop of coconut or baby oil onto the surface.

This bangle will come wrapped in tissue in a hand stamped Cowrie Craft jute bag with care instructions.

The bag is sent in a recycled card postal box with hand written note. See photo for packaging.

This fits a small to medium ladies wrist - the internal diameter of the bangle is 6.3cm - please check sizing prior to purchasing.

The cowrie shell has an approximate length of 8mm.

Sandcasting is an ancient technique which dates back 3500 years but the more modern practice of using Delft Clay instead (which I use) was invented by a Dutch Goldsmith named Hans Karremen.

The delft clay is so fine, it produces a really detailed casting, perfect for my favourite lucky cowrie shells. The shell is sandwiched between two cylinders of delft clay then removed creating a cavity into which the molten silver is poured.
