Origin: Mali, Africa
Material: Hand beaten Brass
The Fulani people belong to the largest of nomadic tribes in West Africa. They have travelled the continent for centuries, developing their art of hand-beaten brass to create the feather-shaped earrings and bracelets worn by women. The techniques they use to make these pieces of art have not changed since early generations but their design proves to be incredibly modern.
These particular bracelets come from a workshop in Mopti, the Venice of Mali. The craftsmen here trust in their ancestral savoir-faire but occasionally tweak their designs to fit them to modern design trends
The bracelets are handmade so vary slightly in size and can be gently bent by hand. The jewellery will remain shiny with a drop of lemon juice.
