Our Natural Shiva Shell pendant comes with a vegan leather cord and features the "trap door" or operculum of the shell, which the snail organism uses to enter and exit. Named after the Hindu God Shiva, the shell symbolizes the Third Eye, often depicted in representations of the deity. In folklore, Shiva Eye Shells are known as "Mermaids' Money" and are believed to bring good luck to travelers and fishermen. The coil on the back of the Shiva Eye represents development and apparent movement, serving as a significant symbol for protection against negative energies.
