Ancestral elegance. Ocean-born power.
These striking earrings feature real cowrie shells collected along the sacred shores of Kailua-Kona, Hawaiʻi, each chosen with care for its natural beauty and energy. The shells are delicately sealed in resin to preserve their luminous form, then suspended on large, hand-hammered silver hoops, creating a bold yet elegant statement that connects wearer and ocean in a shared rhythm of grace and strength.
Cowrie shells have long held deep spiritual and cultural significance across Africa, Asia, and the Pacific. Revered as symbols of femininity, fertility, prosperity, and protection, their shape echoes the curves of a womb, honoring the sacred power of women, creation, and life itself. Historically, cowries were once used as currency and worn by royalty, marking wealth, status, and divine connection. They were treasured not only for their beauty but for the blessings and protection they were believed to carry.
In many traditions, cowries are also used in rituals to invoke guidance and protection, and to honor ocean deities such as Yemaya, the goddess of motherhood and the sea. They are symbols of resilience, flow, and the deep currents that guide our lives — reminding us that life moves with both power and grace, like the tides themselves.
Wearing these earrings is to carry a piece of ancestral strength and sacred femininity wherever you go. They are talismans of protection, empowerment, and connection — a reminder of your own inner wisdom, the beauty of your lineage, and the ever-flowing rhythm of the ocean that lives within you.
