This unique necklace lets you harness the power of cowrie shells.

Each necklace is made by hand so there may be slight and subtle variations in size, color, or pattern. This is what makes it a unique and true piece of African art. The necklace is Fair Trade, and your purchase of this necklace will help provide a stable income and a good standard of living for the artists and their families. Each necklace is individually made each unique with its own markings.
