From bold geometric shapes to intricate beadwork, our designs blend modern style with ancestral art, making them perfect for anyone looking to incorporate authentic African elements into their fashion choices.
The use of locally sourced materials, such as beads, camel bone, clay, wood and metals, ensures that each pair of earrings maintains its true African identity while also supporting local suppliers. These materials carry with them the essence of the land and people of Kenya, making your jewelry as much a part of the culture as it is a reflection of your personal style.
