These Berries earrings by Akwele Suma Glory are a unique and vibrant expression of upcycled art. Inspired by the natural colors and shapes of berries, Ghanaian designer Akwele Suma crafts these spindle-shaped earrings by hand, using discs of recycled paper sourced from different printed materials. The multi-hued paper is meticulously secured with red silk threads, and the pieces are adorned with sese wood beads before hanging from brass wires. Each pair is truly one-of-a-kind, with variations in paper color and pattern, making them not only a stylish accessory but also a beautiful statement of sustainability, creativity, and Ghanaian artistic heritage.
