Handcrafted from a variety of sese wood beads in shades of coffee and cream, the long necklace has a warm, natural aesthetic.

Strung on a durable nylon thread, this piece is an effortless way to add a touch of handcrafted African charm to your collection.
This Ghanaian artisan has grown into a proud jewelry and decor designer, transforming early challenges into a flourishing creative practice. Working from home, where the journey first began, he crafts masks, jewelry, and decorative objects that reflect both tradition and innovation. Access to micro-credit loans through NOVICA allowed him to bring his design ideas to life, invest in better tools, and expand his craft beyond the local market. Over time, he has trained others and provided opportunities for work whenever demand increases, extending his impact within the community. Thanks to his artistry, his children have completed university and vocational studies, a testament to the generational change his work supports. Each piece embodies resilience, imagination, and gratitude, carrying his creativity to the world.
Handcrafted from sese wood and nylon thread, this necklace measures 28.5 inches L x 0.5 inches W, with the pendant measuring 3 inches L x 1.3 inches W. The color, size, and motif may vary slightly.
