This is a glue-set jewelry piece. When gemstones are set without prongs, they need help staying in place. This is usually done with glue, epoxy or resin. While every effort is made to ensure the stone is afixed strongly, glue-set pieces require a bit more TLC to ensure the stone does not come loose. Frequent contact with liquids can cause the glue to break-down. If the bracelet falls or has an impact with another object, the stone may come loose.
Ancient travelers and historians such as El Mas’udi, Al Idrisi and Al-biruni had written about the “Cowrie Islands”. Ibn Battuta in 1343, and later Ma Huan, a Chinese historian in 1433 explains the use of cowrie shells as a medium of exchange and currency, and its trade across the world, with the people of Bengal, Yemen, Thailand and other distant lands. Archeologist Heyerdahl in his own research and travels speculated that the significance of cowries to the wealth of the Maldives dated back to the Indus Valley civilization - early records of the Gulf of Cambay mentions ships of cowries from the Maldives; and on his visit to the prehistoric port of Lothal, a harbor city of Mohenjo-Daro, the capital of the Indus Valley Civilization, a busy port around the time of its collapse between 2,500 BC and 1,500 BC. Its museum now holds treasures excavated at the Lothal wharfs; and one exhibit was of Cypraea Moneta, the Maldive cowrie, which makes it clear that the traditional value of the cowrie had survived in this part of the world for over 3,000 years.
The Cowrie Islands is a significant chapter of Maldive history - impressive not for just how far the cowries reached across the world; but the power of the monopoly the islands held over them, which gave the Maldives a place in the ancient global trade map.

There is an old Maldivian story about how tuna first came to the islands.
It speaks of a great mālimi: a navigator; who sailed so far that the sea thinned and the world began to fall away. At the edge of it stood an enderi tree, black coral rising like a living monument through strong currents. At its base, strange striped fish leapt and shimmered. The mālimi understood them as a gift. A chant was whispered, a ritual performed, and the fish followed the boat home, choosing the deep waters of the Maldives as their own.
The Black Coral Pendant draws from this imagery: a coral that stands like a majestic black tree at the end of the ocean, where water rushes past and depth turns infinite.
