“Whoever is patient with a cowrie shell will one day have thousands of them.” – Hausa Proverb
Representing the elegance of the female form and celebrated as a symbol of fertility and currency, wear this Sterling Silver cowrie pendant proudly!
Many of our ancestors enslaved by Europeans were bought with cowrie shells, yet sold to other western enslavers for thousands in their own currencies. That’s why I wear one. I’ll always remember my ancestors’ sacrifices for me to be alive today.
“I can’t wait to go to Bioko Island … to have the sun in that part of the region on my body and know that I’m home.”
