Usually cowrie shells conjure up thoughts of idyllic tropical beaches rather than equally idyllic but west coast of Scotland beaches, but the
original cowrie shell for this solid gold necklace came from one such sandy swathe of Kintyre. Our cowries tend to be small and delicate, and
in Grant's opinion, all the more beautiful for it.
A cowrie is given as a wedding gift in some cultures as it is said to be a symbol of womanhood, fertility, birth and wealth. Whatever your
reason for this as a gift, the recipient is bound to fall in love with such a pretty feminine hand made gold necklace.
