Vintage Orange Shell Nepalese Bangle Bracelet

This ethnic bangle bracelet is a handcrafted creation with a bold aesthetic and rich meaning. The silver-tone metal frame is divided into movable sections with handcrafted details. Two white cowrie shells , traditional symbols of protection and fertility, stand out in the center. They are set between orange cabochons (in resin or synthetic amber) and details in coral paste or red glass. The surface is enriched with dotted and chiseled motifs, lending an antique, ceremonial look.

This bracelet draws its origins from traditional Indian craftsmanship , particularly from the regions of Rajasthan and Gujarat, where jewelry is a true instrument of cultural and spiritual expression. Cowrie shells , imported for centuries via the Indian Ocean trade routes, have long been used in India as symbols of prosperity, fertility, and divine protection, often associated with the goddess Lakshmi.

The use of worked metals, colored stones and raised patterns is typical of Indian tribal jewelry, where each piece is handmade and may vary slightly, making each bracelet unique and unrepeatable .

This bracelet is more than just a decorative accessory: it embodies elements of spirituality and tradition, linked to protection, good fortune, and vital energy. Perfect for those who love wearing pieces with soul, capable of telling an ancient story through the language of color and material.
