HUNDRED KISS
Single HUNDRED KISS earring
The cowrie, or porcelain shell, or “kiss” because of its mouth-like shape, bears witness to an ancestral memory and carries powerful symbolism. At once an ancient means of exchange since antiquity, a piece of jewelry, a divination tool, and a talisman, the cowrie embodies invaluable cultural wealth, particularly in West Africa. Its central slit, reminiscent of a pupil, has made it a symbol of protection against the evil eye. It is also associated with femininity, fertility, and prosperity.
- Materials:
Porcelain cowrie shell, Cypraea Linnaeus, 1758 from Sri Lanka
Hypoallergenic stainless steel
- Dimensions: the hoop measures 12mm in diameter
