There is a picturesque cove, here in North Devon, tucked in between the rocks, famous for cowries and other exotic sea shells.
Local folklore says that these shells have travelled from the shore of a Caribbean island, thousands of miles across the Atlantic, to be dropped in near-perfect condition, in this precious little inlet on the North Devon coast.
We have focused on making cowrie shell earrings, pendants, bracelets and rings this Summer.
These little Arctic cowries are often found on our rocky shoreline, hiding in crevices, or hanging upside down sticking to the rock with its orange muscular foot.
We think they make fantastic jewellery!
