Details

By Joycelyn Sena Zigah, these beautiful earrings interpret a Ghanaian adinkra symbol, which communicate sayings and concepts through images. "This is Nkyinkim, she explains. "It literally means to twist or turn oneself around. It is a symbol of initiative, dynamism and versatility. It signifies the ability to withstand difficulties and play many roles in life. This symbol encourages one to endure hardships and be committed to duties." She works in polished sterling silver.

"Beautiful, well made ring!"

I love the detail in this ring. Mrs Zigah is an excellent silversmith. I wish she would make match earrings, necklace and bracelet cuff with this same design.

"This really is now a cherished Heirloom"

Though she was not born in West Africa, my granddaughter (born in Ethiopia) will treasure this for her whole life. She was so thrilled to receive it.
