Discover the refined beauty of African craftsmanship 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.

This unique bone piece is meticulously etched with fine, parallel vertical lines, adding subtle texture and visual interest. Further enhancing its appeal, gold-toned wire is artfully wrapped around sections of the dangle, culminating in charming spiral accents. These earrings are a profound testament to Kenya's rich artisanal heritage, blending organic materials with a graceful, textured design to create a truly unique and sophisticated accessory.
