Ghanaian jewelry designer Rita Addo Zakour presents a pair of earrings with animalistic appeal. The hand-crafted dangle earrings feature sassy beads of recycled plastic with a leopard print motif. Flanking the spotted beads are small spheres of brown sese wood. The earrings swing from brass hooks. The artisan names them ayeyi, which means "praise" in the Akan dialect.

Neben dem tollen Aussehen sind die Ohrringe auch noch ganz leicht. Ich will sie nicht mehr abnehmen.
