The Cowrie Crown Choker
A striking one-of-a-kind wearable art piece designed to honor hair, heritage, adornment, and identity. This statement choker features a sculptural synthetic hair bun with long cascading braids, creating the feeling of a crown worn close to the heart.
The braided design is wrapped and detailed with intention, with a single African cowrie shell placed at the center as a symbol of beauty, value, femininity, and ancestral connection. Built on a leather base and finished with a metal choker foundation, the piece balances structure, softness, and cultural storytelling.
This is more than a neckpiece — it is a tribute to the beauty of Black hair, the power of adornment, and the sacredness of showing up fully as yourself.
