About This Piece
This statement necklace features a Hawaiian snakehead cowry shell surrounded by vibrant Nacozari turquoise, a small Kingman turquoise accent, and a grape-toned Mozambique garnet. Set in sterling silver, the combination brings together treasures from both land and sea, blending bright desert blues with rich berry-purple tones and the striking natural profile of the cowry shell.
Inspired by treasures gathered along distant shorelines, this piece celebrates the beauty of natural materials and unexpected color combinations. The vivid turquoise and unusual purple garnet create a playful contrast against the shell’s warm, organic patterning, giving the necklace an adventurous spirit that feels both coastal and wild.
Suspended from an 18-inch sterling silver rolo chain, this handmade necklace is a colorful little talisman for ocean lovers, beachcombers, and collectors of beautiful things.
One of a kind — you will receive the exact piece shown.

Caring For Your Treasures
-To keep your treasures in top shape, rinse with fresh water after ocean adventures and avoid harsh chemicals, lotions, and perfumes. Generally, it’s best to remove jewelry before swimming, showering, or working out. Remember, shells are natural treasures, and opals, turquoise, and pearls are softer gems, but with a little care, they can last for years to come.
-14k Gold Fill: 14k gold-filled jewelry has a, physical layer of 14k gold bonded over a base metal, making it far more durable than gold plating. With proper care, it can last a lifetime. Gold fill requires little maintenance. Simply wipe with a soft cloth to remove makeup, oils, or dirt. After exposure to salt water, rinse thoroughly with fresh water and wipe dry.
-Silver: To keep your silver bright, polish with a soft cloth, silver polishing cloth, or gently clean with mild soap, water, and a toothbrush. When not wearing, store in an airtight container with anti-tarnish strips or desiccant packs (especially in humid environments). Avoid storing silver with materials that cause tarnish, such as rubber products or rubber bands. Proper storage will help maintain your silver’s shine!
-Seashells: Seashells are natural ocean treasures that can last for many years with a little love. To clean, use mild soap, water, and a soft brush (such as a toothbrush) to remove dirt or residue, then rinse thoroughly and pat dry. After exposure to salt water, always rinse well with fresh water and dry afterward.
If a shell’s surface appears dull or dry, its natural luster can be restored by lightly brushing with a very small amount of mineral oil. Use sparingly — a little goes a long way and excess oil can attract dust. Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners.
-Turquoise and Larimar: Turquoise, larimar, and other similar gemstones can last for many years with proper care. Because they are softer than gems like diamonds and sapphires, store them in your included Vagabond Sundries pouch or separate compartment to help prevent scratches.
Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth and avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners.
