Cowrie Shell Creel Pendant
Cowrie Shell Creel Pendant
This sterling silver creel pendant is entirely made by hand and contains a real Cowrie shell collected from an Orkney beach. As each pendant is made to fit each shell there are slight variations to the size. The average size of the whole pendant including the bail is 23-30 mm. Can be made with your own shell.
In Orkney, Cowries are called Grotie Buckies and are said to bring luck to the bearer. It’s a great sport trying to spot these tiny shells on the shoreline and sometimes it can get quite competitive to see who can collect the most.
There are two spieces of Cowries found in Orkney. Northern Cowrie, which has no markings and the slightly larger European Cowrie which have 3 spots on their backs.
Comes in a gift box ready to be presented to that special person!
All online orders also come in a paper gift bag with a polishing cloth, jewellery care instructions and a small organza bag of seashells collected from my local beach
