Sterling Silver Necklace Adornment with Cluster of Old Shell Currencies from Papua New Guinea (HM76)

$425.00
With hand-forged sterling silver combined with collected, valuable shell currencies, this adornment takes on a unique, rustic aesthetic. From Papua New Guinea, these conus shells - referred to as 'women's money' - were once used as a primitive form of currency. They were traditionally strung on a fiber cord, used as a form of exchange for other goods or services and even used as a bride price. Dangling from a silver hook, this cluster of shells has been transformed to a beautiful contemporary, ethnic piece of jewelry. The hook will securely hook onto most any cord, wire or chain.

Leather cords sold separately.

Dimensions: 4" H x 2" W x 1" D; the shells range from 1/2" - 1" W
