This Men's Coconut Shell Pendant Necklace 'Traveler' is a stunning and unique accessory. Designed by Nonyem Abena Ibeneme, this men's necklace is crafted by hand with waxed linen thread and natural coconut shell pendants detailed with a soapstone bead. The piece, which bridges heritage, sustainability, and individuality, is a beautiful representation of the artisan's commitment to creating wearable art and mentoring young women.
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 with coconut shell, terracotta, and waxed linen thread. The necklace is 26 inches long. The pendant measures 3.7 inches in length and 1.2 inches in width.
