Cowrie Shell earrings buying Collection

I made this with the shells I collected from the Indian Ocean when I lived in Kenya.
I used different types of gold and silver wrapping. I used also lever back or hook type closure.
If you don't see the one you would love, just let me know and I will try to satisfy your wish if I can.
I can also make more with the silver wire if you prefer.

Here is the description:

The A is a reddish shell, with a gold plated hook.
B lever back - silver
C silver buying plated hook
D gold hook.

The word Cowrie or Cowry comes from the Sanskrit word kaparda which means small shell. Cowries are predominantly found in coastal areas, particularly in the Indian and Pacific oceans.

Cowrie Shells might appear simple and unassuming, but they are highly valued, and in some parts of the world, have even been used as jewelry and currency. Cowrie Shells are admired for their delicate shells and markings and have been an integral part of many ancient cultures, traditions, and belief systems.
