Malkia(Queen)Spiral Cowrie Ring

Rooted in Kenya, cowrie shells carry deep cultural meaning across Africa—symbolizing protection, prosperity, and feminine strength, while spiral forms represent continuity and the unfolding journey of life.

Handcrafted in Kenya, the Malkia (Queen) Spiral Cowrie Ring blends traditional wire artistry with the timeless symbolism of the cowrie shell. The spiral detail adds movement and intention, grounding the piece in both heritage and personal expression.

Adjustable and bold, this ring is designed to stand out while still feeling connected—refined enough for everyday wear, strong enough to carry meaning.
