Cowrie Shell Hair Jewels
Beautiful golden Cowrie Shell on a coil, for bejeweled hair (braids, twists, locs, curls, etc.).
Cowrie Shells have been used for many purposes throughout centuries and cultures. It has shown up in form of money, jewelry and spiritual accessories in many parts of the world.
In West Africa they served as currency in the 15th century. And until this day they're being used by mediums to communicate with the divine by interpreting the positions after dropping them on a typically round surface.
A Cowrie Shell represents goddess protection which is highly powerful and connected with the strength & power of the Ocean. It symbolizes the power of destiny and prosperity.
As an African female symbol, worn around the hips, Cowrie Shells are believed to increase fertility.
In Hawaii they're known as Puka Shells (puka = hole) and given to wish the recipient good will & good luck. If a puka necklace is given to a sailor it's supposed to help bring her/him home safely.
The Hair Jewel has a diameter of 7mm. That’s perfect for small to medium size braids/twists or thin locs. The size makes it also easy to wear in a wisp of loose hair.
The piece was made with galvanized Cowrie Shell and brass wire.
Every piece is energetically cleansed, created with love and healing intentions, and infused with high vibrational frequencies, by your SoulMaid ♡.
