Our Spring/Summer collection celebrates the joy and beauty of the season through a fusion of cultural traditions and modern design.

Materials and Techniques

Our commitment to sustainability and ethical practices is evident in the materials and techniques we use for our jewelry collection. We source our glass beads and brass locally, not only to support the local economy but also to reduce our carbon footprint. Our skilled artisans use traditional jewelry-making techniques passed down through generations, adding cultural value and ensuring the highest quality. These techniques require great attention to detail – our artisans take immense pride in their work. By utilizing traditional techniques, we pay tribute to the rich cultural heritage of several African countries and showcase the beauty of its traditional jewelry-making techniques.

Our jewelry collection consists of beaded pieces inspired by the historical use of beads throughout Africa. Women have gathered for centuries to create stunning artifacts, and our jewelry continues that tradition. Each handcrafted piece has cultural significance and may represent strength, tradition, beauty, or marital status, with each colored bead holding symbolic meaning.

We are proud to offer one-of-a-kind pieces that celebrate traditional African jewelry-making techniques. Our collection is a testament to the beauty of sustainability, ethical practices, and cultural heritage.
