These 'Medieval Nature' earrings by Nonyem Abena Ibeneme are a unique accessory. 'The subtle organic colors and style of this design makes me think of medieval architecture,' confides Nonyem Abena Ibeneme. The earrings are crafted by hand with ornate terracotta beads centering coconut shell squares. The earrings dangle from brass hooks. This piece is a beautiful reflection of Nonyem's dedication 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 coconut shell, terracotta, waxed linen thread, and brass, these dangle earrings measure 3 inches in length and 1.6 inches in width. They secure with hooks.
