Long Purple Cowry Charm Necklace

.Cowry Charm Jewelry
(in the Bead Stringing Gallery)

I like to combine shells with just about any kind of bead jewelry, and wrote about how to work with them in "Cowry Charm Jewelry," in Beadwork Dec/Jan 2001. I sometimes sell purple cowries and charm kits on Ebay (seller name: seriousbeader).

To the left is a long "bead stew" necklace utilizing the shell charm as a place to hang three beaded dangles.

To the right, money cowry earrings with coral beads and dentalium shell dangles.

 

The necklace set below incorporates freshwater pearls and
bead-wrapped mother of pearl with a pink cowry centerpiece.
