ETYANG’ ALMASI EARRINGS
1/3

The Etyang’ Almasi Earring feature a bold diamond-shaped (almasi) pendant crafted from wood, adorned with hand-painted patterns in red, black, and ivory. The geometric form introduces structure and direction, while the rhythmic surface detailing reflects visual storytelling found across African design traditions.

Crowned with a natural cowrie shell—long associated with femininity, protection, and prosperity—the piece carries layered meaning. Hand-coiled brass elements connect each component, grounding the design in heritage craftsmanship and fluid movement.

The interplay between pattern, material, and form creates a composition that feels both expressive and balanced. Inspired by African philosophies of adornment and symbolism, the design carries echoes of Kemet, where geometry and ornamentation reflected harmony, identity, and meaning.
