Ubuntu Cowrie Earrings

Ubuntu means "I am because we are." A philosophy of shared humanity from across sub-Saharan Africa, worn as a pair of earrings.

Naturally sourced cowrie shells sit on a clean brass hoop, accented with small brass beads. Understated, meaningful, and made to be worn every day.

Each pair is made by local artisans in Dakar using traditional materials and techniques. Slight variations make every piece one-of-a-kind.

Why We Love It

• Ubuntu is one of the most profound philosophies of communal humanity - and one of the most wearable
• Cowrie on brass is a classic material pairing in West African jewelry - timeless without being trendy
• Daily wear earrings with a philosophy behind them. That's the Kindred & Kin ethos in one piece
