stackable jewelry

Beads of sese wood, coconut shell, and recycled plastic are stacked like stoic monoliths in this pair of dangle earrings from Ghana. Designed by Catherine Offei Kwapong, the earrings feature shades of brown, hanging from brass hooks.

Elizabeth Alorchie-Apetor creates Modern Ghanaian earrings with an environmentally friendly accent. Vibrant orange beads are stacked with sese wood globes and coconut shell disks to create intriguing shapes. The artist names this design Walor, which means "helper" in the Ga language.
