These gorgeous dangle earrings feature genuine off-white sliced moneta cowrie shells dangling beneath 20mm round carved black and gold acrylic beads an etched Afrocentric abstract pattern. Aching for acrylics? Check out the rest of my acrylic jewelry here: https://etsy.me/2IadiWZ Throughout Africa and the Americas, cowrie shells have historically been viewed as symbols of womanhood, fertility, and prosperity. Check out my other cowrie shell jewelry here: https://etsy.me/2VQS0r0 These earrings measure about 2 and 3/8 inches from the top of the ear wire to the bottom of the shell, though they can be a bit larger or smaller depending on the shells. The ear wires are made from gold-plated surgical steel, making them safe for sensitive ears. These earrings are very lightweight, weighing only 0.1 ounce each!
