Description

The listing, Handmade, Cowry shell and pearl ear rings. has ended.

Cowry shell and fresh water pearl ear rings.

Cowry shells have been called "money shells", because of their use as currency by many cultures. Including those in Persia, Europe, Africa, The Americas, and Asia.

They were used as amulets in medieval Europe to ward off the evil eye, and as tokens representing womanhood, fertility, birth and wealth.

The Classical Chinese character for money originated as a stylized drawing of a cowrie shell.

The Ojibway aboriginal people in North America use cowry shells which are called sacred Miigis Shells or whiteshells in Midewiwin ceremonies, and the Whiteshell Provincial Park in Manitoba, Canada is named after this type of shell.
