Originally found in the islands of the Indian Ocean, the Cowrie shell is believed to possess protective Goddess powers associated with the omnipotent strength of the ocean.

In ancient Egypt, the Cowrie shell was often used as a protective amulet for women.

To honor this very special shell and enhance its feminine qualities, the pendant has been exquisitely framed in 18 k gold with a border of sea pearls to underline its purity.

It can be worn either way depending on the mood and desire of the wearer.
