Details

Ralph Ashong's original design for this necklace is inspired by a vented house or Mframadan in Akan language. "A vented house is a place of repose and relaxation. It underscores the importance of shelter to human existence and development," explains the Ghanaian designer. The vents on this house-shaped pendant are colored with a clay solution, creating an admirable effect on a hand-carved teak wood. The pendant hangs from an adjustable leather cord.

“So beautiful, thank you”

The mirror is far more beautiful than the images. The leaves are laid over the underlying frame and caste a small relief. The green is a hue and has a depth of color. It is very professionally finished and perfect in every way. Packed beautifully and arrived in perfect condition. Thank you Ralph and Novica, I could not have asked for better.
