Teatha Cowrie Drop Earrings

Three cascading cowrie shells, delicately wrapped in gold-tone wire, create a graceful statement with movement and meaning. The Teatha Cowrie Drop Earrings are named in honor of our founder’s Grand Aunt Teatha, a tribute to the women whose love, wisdom, and presence become part of the legacy we carry.

In Liberia, as in communities across West Africa, elders hold a cherished place in family life. The cowrie shell also carries a long history across the region, appearing in exchange, adornment, and expressions of cultural identity. Together, these threads make Teatha a love letter to the women who came before us. To the stories they told, the lessons they lived, and the strength they passed on, sometimes without a word.

May these pieces remind you that you do not begin with yourself. You are part of a story already rich with love.
