These Modern Recycled Glass Bead Earrings 'Peach Allure' are a unique and artistic accessory by Nigerian artisan Nonyem Abena Ibeneme. The earrings feature recycled glass beads in luscious peach, brown, and gray tones, knotted by hand with macrame techniques. The design is an alternative to the usual and promotes recycling. The piece reflects Nonyem's commitment to creating jewelry that 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 from recycled glass, nylon cord, and brass hooks, these hook earrings measure 2 inches long by 0.4 inches wide. The color, size, and/or motif may vary slightly. The product promotes recycling and reduces waste.
