cowrie + trivia shell necklaces in silver

DETAILS

These cowrie and trivia shells were found on the beaches of western Puerto Rico, sanded down & set in a sterling silver bezel with an open back.

If you don't need a chain, choose "just the pendant" under "necklace length". The chain used for these pendants is a great, sturdy oval cable chain - see a closeup in the 3rd image.
