This piece draws from the ancient symbolism of the cowrie shell, reinterpreted through a modern lens. A pavé-set cowrie form anchors the design with its textured surface. Gunmetal grounds the silhouette, while a small crystal bezel in warm gold introduces contrast. Lightweight and intentional, the earrings sit close to the body, offering subtle movement and a refined edge suitable for everyday wear or evening transitions.
Focal Elements: Pavé-set cowrie shell, crystal bezel accent
Metalwork / Construction: Mixed gunmetal and yellow gold components; hand-assembled connections
Hardware: Gunmetal French hook ear wires
Drop Length: approx. 1.25 in / 3.2 cm
