Description
Stylish and elegant, women ivory Necklace Set with the Adinkra symbol adds an authentically African accent to any ensemble. The choker is made of black beads with a brass fastener that is cinched with two halves of a cowrie shell.
The cowrie shell is an important symbol that is steeped in a rich, ancient tradition in Africa. It symbolizes both spiritual connection to the ocean and goddess and material, earthly wealth. There is a large, wooden Adinkra bone cross hanging from the choker with a polished white cowrie shell attached to the center of it. Comes with matching earrings that have two cowrie shells with a large, inverted brass triangle behind the second cowrie.
