Material:
- Oxidized Silver Plated Charms: This likely refers to a base metal, such as brass or alloy, plated with a thin layer of silver and then treated to give it a darkened, aged appearance. The oxidation creates a beachy and vintage aesthetic that complements the sea shell design.
Shape:
-
Large Cowrie/Sea Shell Shaped: These charms are shaped like cowrie shells, a type of sea shell with a smooth, glossy surface and a distinctive oval shape with an opening at one end. However, the description mentions “sea shell” so it could also be a more generic seashell design.
-
Large: At 20mm long, these are larger charms that can be focal points in your jewelry designs. The 10mm width is the broadest part of the shell.
Size:
- 20mm x 10mm: This refers to the dimensions of the charm.
Quantity:
- Pack of 10 Pieces: Compared to other charm packs described previously, this one only includes 10 charms. This might be because the charms are larger and can be used as statement pieces.
Uses:
These Oxidized Silver Plated Large Cowrie/Sea Shell Charms can incorporate a beachy vibe, touch of nature, and possibly good luck symbolism into your jewelry creations:
- Jewelry Making: These charms can be used in various jewelry applications like earrings (dangling individually for a statement look or as pairs for a balanced design), bracelets (linked together to create a beach-themed pattern or incorporated into a summery design), necklaces (as a pendant or part of a charm cluster with other beachy elements like starfish or pearls), anklets, or even zipper pulls.
- Beach-Themed Jewelry: The sea shell design makes these charms perfect for creating jewelry with a beach theme. You can combine them with other ocean-inspired elements like pearls, sand dollars, or starfish charms.
- Symbol of Good Luck: Cowrie shells are associated with good luck and prosperity in some cultures. You can use these charms to create jewelry with personal meaning.
Additional Details:
- The charm might have a small hole drilled near the top or on the back for easy attachment to jump rings or stringing them onto wire. They might also have a loop attached depending on the supplier.
- The level of oxidation can vary, with some charms appearing more antiqued than others.
- These charms might be available in other finishes (gold, copper) or with variations in the sea shell design (different shell shapes, more detailed ridges on cowrie shells) depending on the supplier.
