Shells were once used on the Pagan altar to represent the element of water. They have been used to ward off evil spirits and for their healing qualities. Venus, who is a symbol of feminine beauty, love and protection, is often shown holding a shell.
 
Like a whispered little message, when worn this shell will remind you of its connection with the powerful energy of the sea and its symbolism of protection, healing and love.
 
Cast from a real shell in sold recycled silver. Perfectly practical for everyday, yet elegant enough for a special occasion. It is 1.5cm in diameter yet it captures all the texture and detail of the orginal shell. It comes with an 18 inch sterling silver curb chain or you can upgrade to a 20 inch curb chain or a 18 inch satelight chain (dotty chain).
 
This precious little silver cockle shell will evoke memories of carefree days at the seaside - perhaps holidays by the beach or time spent paddling in the sea.  
 
The matching earrings are available here.
