Zuri: Bone and Brass Drop/Dangle Earrings
Introducing our Zuri: Horn and Brass Earrings! Discover the beauty of these authentic Kenyan earrings, handcrafted from bone and brass. These fishhook earrings feature a unique design that showcases a bone hoop with an Africa-shaped dangle in the center. The Africa pendant, adorned with a traditional brown and white batik pattern, beautifully complements the natural elegance of the horn hoop.
The batik pattern is a centuries-old technique involving wax-resist dyeing, creating intricate and beautiful designs. This method is culturally significant in many African communities, symbolizing heritage, identity, and storytelling through art.
Measuring 2.25 inches by 1.5 inches at the focal point and extending to 3.75 inches from the fishhook to the bottom, these drop earrings make a bold yet graceful statement. Each piece is made by skilled artisans in Kenya.
Wearing our Zuri earrings allows you to carry a piece of Africa’s rich heritage and artisanal craftsmanship with you. The distinctive batik pattern not only adds a touch of authenticity but also connects you to the vibrant culture and traditions of Africa.
Importantly, the bones used in these earrings are ethically sourced and safe to wear. In Kenya, cattle are integral to local livelihoods, providing meat and other resources. By repurposing the bones for jewelry, artisans practice sustainable and respectful use of all parts of the animal, minimizing waste and honoring traditional practices.
When you purchase these earrings, you’re not just acquiring a beautiful accessory; you’re supporting African artisans and their communities.
Let our Zuri earrings be more than just a fashion statement. Let them be a symbol of your connection to Africa, its people, and its artistry. Embrace the elegance and cultural richness they bring, and let them inspire your journey in style and spirit.
