These Spin the Top earrings by Akwele Suma Glory are a joyful blend of color and sustainable innovation. The Ghanaian artist combines vibrant beads made from recycled paper with diminutive discs cut from recycled plastic bottles, creating a playful design that evokes the spirit of spinning tops. This handcrafted accessory is a testament to Akwele's commitment to using experimental and eco-friendly materials to create beautiful and meaningful jewelry. Since the paper colors will vary, each pair is a unique and spirited work of art that promotes recycling and reduces waste.
