This African Artisan Crafted Braided Cord Bracelet with Beads 'Lagos Braid' is a versatile and classic accessory by Nonyem Abena Ibeneme. She expertly braids nylon cords in black and white, adding recycled glass and black wood beads along the way. The bracelet is finished with a recycled glass bead toggle clasp. This piece is a beautiful example of her commitment to sustainability and her ability to create wearable art that is both unique and deeply personal. It bridges heritage, sustainability, and individuality.
Born in Lagos in 1960 to a Nigerian father and Ghanaian mother, this designer began her career in law, practicing for more than a decade in both Nigeria and Ghana before turning to her lifelong passion for art. Her creative journey in jewelry began in 1993, inspired by a treasured inheritance of antique beads from her mother. Self-taught yet highly observant, she explores diverse techniques and materials, often incorporating recycled elements into her distinctive designs. Each piece is imagined as wearable art, unique and deeply personal. Beyond her own collections, she works with artisans and mentors young women who lack educational opportunities, teaching them jewelry-making as a means to earn income and regain confidence. With her work showcased internationally at exhibitions such as Tendence Lifestyle in Frankfurt, she continues to create jewelry that bridges heritage, sustainability, and individuality.
Handcrafted in Ghana, this bracelet is made from nylon cord, recycled glass beads, and wood beads. It features a toggle clasp and measures 7.5 inches L x 0.4 inches W. It promotes recycling and reduces waste.
