The cowrie has been worn as a symbol of prosperity, protection, and connection to the sea across cultures for centuries. This one is something special — the Nucleolaria granulata, or granulated cowrie, a rare species found only in Hawaii and Marquesas Islands, distinguished by its signature granulated exterior, each tiny bump a natural detail you won't find on your average cowrie. Flip it over and the inner lip reveals raised lines, precise and architectural, as if the ocean spent extra time on this one. Cream-colored and found on Maui, set on gold-filled hardware and hung from a 12mm 18k gold PVD plated stainless steel hoop.
Small enough to wear every day. Meaningful enough to never take off.
Note: you will receive the specific earring selected from two available options. Every shell is a genuine Maui find.
Drop: Approximately 0.75"
Materials: Natural Nucleolaria granulata cowrie shell (Maui), gold-filled hardware
Hoop: 18k gold PVD plated stainless steel, 12mm
Sold: Individually — choose from two available
