Cowry Shell Yellow 18-22mm 1-hole

These are genuine cowrie shells in yellow, sold by weight (125g), each shell measuring 18–22mm and drilled with a single hole for stringing. Cowries have been used as adornment for thousands of years, and this cheerful yellow colorway brings that heritage straight into contemporary work.

The yellow tone reads bright and sunny, landing somewhere between a summer citrus and a retro festival palette — bold enough to anchor a design rather than disappear into it.

What to make with them

String them singly on cord for chunky boho necklaces or stack several on a multi-strand piece where the natural oval silhouette creates satisfying rhythm. They're also well-suited to macramé wall hangings and bag fringe, where the single hole lets each shell dangle freely.

Natural materials vary in color, pattern, and size. The beads you receive may differ slightly from the product photos — this is a characteristic of natural materials, not a defect.
