Artisan Handcrafted Bone & Cowrie Shell Dangle Earrings - Grooved Abstract Design from Kenya

Discover the bold 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. Below the cowrie, a polished, dark brown or black bone dangle is shaped into a distinctive, elongated irregular oval or free-form silhouette. This unique bone piece is adorned with prominent white horizontal stripes or grooves that create a striking visual contrast. These earrings are a profound testament to Kenya's rich artisanal heritage, blending organic materials with an abstract, graphic design to create a truly unique and eye-catching accessory.
