"An inspiration from the beautiful gold bead pendants once worn by Akan nobility in Ghana," confides Nonyem Abena Ibeneme. Noted for their elegant exuberance, Akan royals would wear extraordinary jewelry for special feasts and occasions. This necklace is crafted by hand with conical soapstone beads alternating with sese wood spacers. Threaded on waxed linen cords, the necklace fastens with an ornate ceramic button.
