Golden Cornish Cowrie Earrings

£170.00

These magnificent Cornish cowrie shells were carefully selected from Greenaway beach. Brought in by the tide, cast in silver generously coated in 24ct gold to make these timeless earrings. Perfect for everyday wear and carrying a little bit of Cornwall with you always.

These exquisite gold Cornish cowrie shell earrings hang freely from a handmade ear hook. These cowries have been brought in by the tide of the Atlantic ocean and deposited on the Cornish sea shore. Collected by hand by myself from the beach, I have them cast in solid sterling silver, then finished by hand in my workshop they are generously coated in 24ct gold (gold vermeil). These are approx. 25mm long. They have the most wonderful weight to them and can easily be worn everyday or with a celebration in mind.

The Story Behind the Greenaway Collection

We are all guilty of leaving the beach with treasured finds in our pockets, pebbles, shell, glass and various bits of flotsam and jetsam. My story with Greenaway beach starts from being a young girl in the 80’s, romantic memories of bbqs late into the balmy evenings with family and friends, blustery boxing day walks and getting into cold seas. Fast forwarding to being a mother myself, enjoying being with my children collecting such wonderful treasures and searching for hours for the elusive Cowrie shells that are so synonymous with Greenaway. Now, my children are grown, I still love being there with my little dog Roy, roaming the shore for the next treasures to add to the collection.

This collection is made up of a selection of pebbles, shells and other bits I have selected from Greenaway beach, Cornwall. Discreetly snuggled between Polzeath and Daymer bay.

A note from the hands that made it…

Hi, I am Chloe, the person behind Chloe Michell Jewellery. I am a keen believer in spreading the love, treating ourselves and embracing kindness. It is a time to celebrate woman and hold us in each others support. I love my craft, I love to make beautiful things and enjoy those being received by others (I can't keep it all, even though I'd quite like to haha). I am a believer in vibration and energies. I live by this code, everything I make in imbued with love, kindness and if I can add a little more sentiment in there somehow I will. Whether it is a simple stacking ring, a necklace or a bougee ring stacked to the rafters with gold and diamonds it will get the same amount of time, care, attention and the love each peace deserves.

How will my jewellery be packaged and posted?

Free postage on orders over £75. Your tailor-made order will arrive in a neutral, non-branded postal box, with eco-friendly packaging, a polishing cloth and an embossed Chloe Michell jewellery box.

Gold Vermeil is sterling silver plated with a minimum of 2.5 microns of gold. I use a 24ct plate as I love the brightness of the gold. It is considerably longer lasting than standard gold plate.
