Why wear basic drop earrings when you can rock iconic cultural symbols? These eye-catching statement earrings feature hand-carved upcycled bone shapes inspired by traditional Afro pick combs, complete with batik concentric-circle motifs, natural cowrie shell accents, and handcrafted brass wire coils.
Handcrafted in Kibera, Nairobi (Kenya), each comb-shaped pendant is carved, notched, and batik-dyed using traditional wax-resist methods before being paired with a wire-wrapped cowrie shell. They’re bold, culturally rooted, and amazingly lightweight for all-day flair.
