Brought back by popular demand! ... the young lady who modeled the necklace years ago is the daughter of the Trader, Ibrahim. He designed this necklace and i brought back several.

This necklace is not for the faint of heart .. it needs a very strong personality! One pound of colourful African Beads!! The beads that make up the dangles are strung on raffia 6 1/2" long. Around the neck the vinyl beads and some glass beads are strung on strong fishing wire. There are 3 necklaces to choose from. This is for the woman who loves to make a statement! You will receive a necklace similar to one in the photos.. If you would like to see your necklace please contact us and we will send you photos. -

Cowrie Shells are beautiful and summery! This cowrie shells necklace is ethereal! A real statement piece for that woman who dares! Funky Frog met such a woman working in Ghana ... she was Australian and would wear a necklace like this as everyday wear ... she looked fabulous!! This is for someone like her! The necklace hangs down 11". I have about a 14" neck and it fits snug. It felt better for me with a beautiful sea shell coloured silk ribbon tied just a bit looser ... this silk ribbon makes it a one size fits all....Cowrie Shells have had great significance to humanity over the years. They were made into jewelry and hair ornaments, used in religious rituals and as protective amulets and up until the late 19th century they were even used as money! They are also a sign of femininity and fertility with women wearing them not only to help them conceive but to help them give birth safely. They bring good luck to the wearer and protect their spirit. And they are just beautiful!
