Black & Gold Cowrie Shell Beaded Drop Earrings – Handmade African Statement

These black and gold cowrie shell earrings are handcrafted to make a statement. Featuring a natural cowrie shell set into a teardrop silhouette, each piece is carefully beaded by hand using layered black and gold beads for depth, texture, and movement.
