ETYANG’ JANI DROP EARRINGS
$45.00

The Etyang’ Jani Drop Earrings feature a softly curved leaf-shaped (jani) pendant crafted from wood, adorned with hand-painted patterns in red, black, and ivory. The organic silhouette introduces movement and softness, 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 while allowing gentle, graceful movement.

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