Unique Handcrafted Bone & Cowrie Shell Dangle Earrings - Triangular Design from Kenya

Make a distinct style statement with these captivating handcrafted dangle earrings, meticulously made in Kenya. Each earring features a natural, light-hued cowrie shell, elegantly wrapped with delicate gold-toned wire, gracefully suspending from a matching ear hook. Below the cowrie, a polished, creamy white bone dangle is shaped into a distinctive inverted triangle. This unique bone piece is adorned with fine, parallel vertical etched lines, adding subtle texture, and features delicate serrated "teeth" along its two longer sides. Gold-toned wire is artfully wrapped around a portion of the dangle, culminating in a charming spiral accent. These earrings are a profound testament to Kenya's rich artisanal heritage, blending organic materials with a modern geometric design to create a truly unique and eye-catching accessory.
