The symbolism of shell anklets
Seashells have been used in jewelry making for thousands of years. As a natural material, it has always been available and hasn't required any technology. Seashells have always been abundant in tropical seas, and empty shells often get washed on the beach. From there, the beautiful seashells have been picked up and used as decorations in art, jewelry, clothes, and much more.
In history, cowrie shells worked as currency in many parts of the world, and therefore they are still a symbol of wealth and monetary success.
Every seashell has a unique shape and pattern. Each shell is fascinating proof of how truly spectacular nature and our life is. Seashells have kept people intrigued throughout history, and they still keep doing so today and in the future.
As the shell of a marine animal is there to protect it from the outer world, many see seashells as protective tokens.
In conclusion, seashells hold deep meaning on many levels, which partly explain the popularity of shell jewelry. Seashells symbolize success, dedication, protection, and the beauty of life.
