What Santeros say about us
- Verified eBay buyer
“I received this superb Dan mask on time and well packaged (along with another one I bought) and I'm extremely happy with the purchase and the seller and with eBay because Santeriaguide do not ship to the UK. So the eBay element was essential. The detail and patina on these masks is impressive and to my mind they're among the very best looking Dan masks on the internet. Also it's not the first time I've bought from this seller through eBay. I can highly recommend the service.”

Why You’ll Love This Gala
Infused with Symbolism
Red and white beads embody Shangó’s fire, courage, and authority. Cowrie shells channel prosperity and protection, while the charms reflect different aspects of his energy.
Crafted with Reverence
Made entirely by hand to ensure authenticity and spiritual integrity.
Spiritually Ready
Ships unconsecrated so it can be blessed by you or your godparent according to tradition.
Perfect Fit / Display
Designed as a ceremonial necklace, offering a strong presence for altar display or ritual wear.
Who This Is For
- Initiates of Orisha
- Spiritual gift-givers
- Godparents preparing tools for their godchildren
- Practitioners honoring Shangó or strengthening altar sets
Every piece is strung by hand, so exact lengths vary slightly between items.
Wrap a soft tape measure — or a strip of paper — snugly around your wrist, or where you want the necklace to sit, then measure it against a ruler. Add about half an inch if you prefer a looser fit.
Between sizes, or ordering for an iyawó or godchild? Message us before you order and we'll confirm the finished length of the exact piece you're looking at.
About this piece
Necklace de Shangó
The inclusion of cowrie shells requires gentle handling to prevent damage to the natural material. These shells are traditionally wiped clean with a dry cloth.
Necklace de Changó
The choice of charm, whether turtle or lightning, is an aesthetic preference for the practitioner. The necklace is designed to be worn on formal or ceremonial occasions.
Necklace of Shangó
The construction uses strong, professional-grade cord to hold the weight of the cowries and charms. Practitioners often ensure the piece is stored in a respectful, elevated location.
Gala necklace for Shangó
This piece features a distinct arrangement of beads and shells that differs from standard daily wear. It is intended for practitioners seeking a specific aesthetic for ceremonial settings.
