$45.00

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.
Sustainability

This collection is part of a direct impact initiative—supporting artisan livelihoods, preserving traditional handcraft techniques, and creating a more connected, transparent value chain. By choosing Etyang’, you participate in a system that values people, culture, and continuity.
