Details

For an eco-friendly accessory that adds a touch of Ghanaian tradition to your wardrobe, this necklace is designed by Ghanaian artisan Akwele Suma. She forms the waterfall pendant with beads of recycled paper that are diligently rolled by hand, dangling from nylon cord on a sese wood pendant.

The artist uses the paper at hand so paper colors will vary, making each design a unique example of handcrafted art. These beads receive a protective coat of clear nail polish.
