"Odo Akoma bracelets"

These bracelets are so cheerful and colorful. I love the contrast between the glass beads and the colorful discs in between them. The bracelets are very well made and can be worn with a variety of outfits. Ive had mine for a while now and they show no signs of wear.

"Striking, Ethic Artistry"

Ohemaa, wood pendant necklace is large, but well proportioned to hang in a way that is flattering when worn. Very eye-catching, unique artistic necklace. Coordinates with Paglayiri earrings made by IIa Suleyman. Happy with purchase.
