A pair of Silver Cowrie Shell hook drop earrings, the perfect size for everyday and a wonderful reminder of the shore.
Cowries are known more commonly as Groatie Buckies here in Orkney where there's a constant competition as to who can collect the most. (Though this takes some good eyesight and a lot of patience!). They are thought to be a token of good luck.
Material
The cowries are cast in recycled solid sterling silver from a shell collected from the Orkney shoreline.
Size
Approximately 10mm tall.
