Women's Metallic Yellow Gold Plated Cowrie Shell Necklace

The Posh Totty Designs 18ct Yellow Gold Plated Cowrie Shell Necklace has a modest, simple, organic shape that hides an impressive historic significance. For centuries, the Cowrie shell has been used as a form of currency in Africa, Asia, Latin America. In Nepal and India, it symbolises wealth and womanhood and is used in ceremonies to worship the Goddess Laxmi. The Posh Totty Designs Cowrie Shell Necklace is inspired by a beachcombed tidal Cowrie shell from Tulum, Mexico. Handmade by our jewellers in Brighton in 925 sterling silver then plated in 18ct yellow gold plating. A modest, tactile pendant with a valuable history, this unique necklace looks fabulous with other seashell jewellery pieces from the Posh Totty Designs Tidal Seashell jewellery collection. 925 Sterling silver with 18ct yellow gold plating. Our gold plated items are compliant with the Assay nickel release test (BS EN 1811: 1998 and BS EN 12472) therefore they are suitable for those with nickel allergies.
