Vintage Carved Tiger Cowrie Polished Shell Bangle Bracelet Mother of Pearl Boho

Vintage Tiger Cowrie Shell Bangle Bracelet – Carved & Polished Natural Shell- for a smaller hand Vintage bangle bracelet carved from a single natural tiger cowrie shell (Cypraea tigris). The exterior displays the cowrie’s characteristic mottled brown-on-cream pattern, while the interior reveals a smooth, pearly nacre layer that catches the light with iridescent sheen. This is not an inlay or mosaic piece — the bracelet seems to have been cut and polished from one solid shell, showcasing the natural beauty of its form. Likely made as a Hawaiian or Pacific Island souvenir during the mid-20th century (1960s–1980s). • Material: Genuine tiger cowrie shell (single piece, carved and polished) • Interior diameter: ~2.25” (see photo with ruler) • Width: approx. 0.75” • Color: Cream and brown mottling with pearly iridescence inside • Condition: Very good vintage condition, some light natural surface variations from the shell itself.
