Cowries: necklaces

The Cowrie collection is inspired by the cowrie shell, an emblematic shell that holds a central place in African history and cultures. For centuries, the cowrie has been used as a medium of exchange, but also as a symbol of wealth, femininity, and prosperity.

Its natural, soft, and perfectly balanced shape evokes both the beauty of nature and the power of symbols. Through this collection, AC by AC transforms and highlights the softness of this iconic motif.

Crafted in 18-carat gold, sometimes enhanced with diamonds, the creations in the Cowrie collection subtly translate the natural curves of this shell. Necklaces, pendants, rings, and earrings thus become delicate and timeless pieces, conceived as true modern talismans.

At the crossroads of tradition and contemporary design, the Cowrie collection celebrates the symbolic richness of the African continent and the beauty of the natural forms that inspire it.

With the Cowrie collection, AC by AC continues its exploration of contemporary African jewelry, where each piece tells a story and carries a cultural heritage.
