|
Bring the calming essence of the ocean into your home with our natural Tiger Cowrie Shells. Known for their striking spotted patterns and smooth, glossy finish, these unique shells add a touch of coastal elegance to any space. Whether displayed in glass jars, used in beach-themed centerpieces, or incorporated into DIY décor projects, tiger cowries are a timeless way to celebrate nature’s beauty. Sustainably sourced and naturally polished, each shell is a one-of-a-kind treasure—perfect for adding organic charm to bathrooms, living rooms, or outdoor spaces. Tiger cowrie shells are among the most recognizable and striking sea shells in the world. Native to warm Indo-Pacific waters, these marine mollusk shells are known for their glossy, porcelain-like surface and distinctive leopard-like pattern—typically a creamy or light beige base adorned with rich brown or black spots, resembling a tiger’s coat (hence the name). Each shell is oval-shaped, smooth, and highly polished by the animal’s mantle during life. The underside of the shell features a long, narrow slit-like opening lined with fine teeth, which is characteristic of all cowrie species. They're often collected for their natural beauty and have been used historically in jewelry, currency, and ceremonial items.
Refined, natural, and ethically sourced—this is coastal décor with a conscience.
