Highlights

Materials: Cowrie shell, limpet shell, shell

✨ U.S. buyers: all import duties included. No surprise customs fees at delivery.

A set of two ceremonial-style ornaments made of natural sea shells, handmade in Indonesia and presented on their stands. Inspired by the traditional adornments of Papua, where shells were treasured as wealth and worn with pride.

No two sets are alike. Every shell has its own pattern, shade and shape, so your pair will be truly one of a kind.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✦ TWO PIECES, THREE SHELLS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
- The large collar: glossy tortoiseshell limpets (Patella testudinaria), speckled in chocolate, amber and cream, framing a row of sundial shells (Architectonica) with their delicate spiral pattern
- The round ornament: a full circle of ivory cowrie shells, the shell once used as currency across Africa, Asia and the Pacific

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✦ MADE BY HAND, SHELL BY SHELL
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Each piece takes hours of patient handwork:
- A thick collar of light brown cotton cord is wrapped and knotted in macramé
- The shells are selected one by one for their colour and size
- Each shell is sewn on by hand, row after row
- The finished pieces are mounted on black wood and metal stands, ready to display

The small differences in colour, size and pattern are not flaws. They are the signature of natural materials and handmade work.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✦ TREASURES FROM THE SEA
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Across Papua and the islands of the Pacific, shells were for centuries far more than ornaments. They were exchanged as bride wealth, offered to seal alliances, and worn as collars and breastplates during ceremonies. The more shells a person wore, the greater their wealth, status and prestige.

Today, this pair brings that heritage into your home: a symbol of abundance and celebration, and a striking duo of sculptural art.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✦ WHERE IT BELONGS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
- Side by side on a console, sideboard or bookshelf, the two heights create a natural composition
- A coastal, tribal, boho, ethnic chic or wabi-sabi interior
- An entrance, living room or bedroom
- Hotels, restaurants, spas and boutiques
- A gift for a new home, a collector, a traveller or anyone who loves natural art
