“CAGOUILLE” SNAIL SHELL STUD EARRINGS 18ct Gold Vermeil
If you are a fan of the snail, whether as a culinary delight or a natural miracle of slow-moving, house-carrying efficiency, you will love the Charente-Maritime garden snail most of all. Escargot enthusiasts rave about these particular snails, claiming that the creatures’ close contact with the same earth that grows the grapes for Cognac gives them an unrivalled aromatic flavour. People here love them so much that, since 1978, they have held a festival honouring the humble snail. It takes place in the town of Saint Sauveur d’Aunis on the first weekend in September each year and gives attendees the chance to watch snail races, share snail recipes and sample local produce.
Notoriously slow moving and complete with an armoured outer shell, the snail is a symbol of patience, strength and self-reliance. These tactile snail shell studs are ideal for anyone going through a challenging time and who needs reminding of their capacity for resilience and fortitude.
