African Jewellery
Before coins, before paper — cowrie shells were the currency of Africa for over 3,000 years. From the Nile Valley to the Congo, they symbolised prosperity, fertility, and ancestral protection. This gift set brings that legacy to life.
Cowrie shells were used as currency across sub-Saharan Africa for over 3,000 years. They were traded along the Trans-Saharan trade routes and were so valued that the Yoruba word for money — “owó” — originally meant cowrie shell.
In many African spiritual traditions, cowrie shells are worn for protection and connection to ancestral wealth. The cowrie does not merely decorate — it declares lineage.
