Pink gold, Diamonds
The cowrie shell has many stories to tell. A symbol of femininity, a form of currency, a tool for divination, everyone finds their own interpretation. AC by AC represents it with gentle grace.
Crafted from 18-carat gold and set with carefully selected diamonds and/or precious stones, your AC by AC creation deserves special attention to preserve its brilliance and beauty.
18-carat gold is a precious and noble metal. Although it is durable, it can scratch when in contact with other jewelry or hard surfaces. We recommend that you:
- Store your jewelry in its case, separate from other pieces.
- Avoid repeated impacts and friction.
- Remove your jewelry during sports or manual activities.
Diamonds are among the hardest stones in the world, but they can attract grease and lose their sparkle with daily wear. To preserve their brilliance:
- Avoid contact with perfumes, creams, and cosmetics.
- Gently clean your jewelry using a soft brush, lukewarm water, and mild soap.
- Dry it with a soft, non-abrasive cloth.
Jewelry is meant to be worn, lived with, and passed down.
Taking care of it preserves the emotion it embodies.
For centuries, the cowrie shell has journeyed through the history of the African continent as a precious symbol. This small shell, with its gentle curves and natural sheen, has long held an essential place, embodying wealth, protection, and fertility. Once used as a form of currency in many regions of Africa, cowrie shells circulated along major trade routes, testifying to the prosperity of kingdoms. Their unique beauty and rarity gave them a precious value. With its organic and timeless form, the cowrie shell continues to inspire contemporary creation today. In jewelry, it becomes a motif rich in meaning, a way to celebrate Africa's cultural richness and symbolic heritage.
