The ancient Malian city

From Djenné with love

These hoops were crafted in the ancient Malian city of Djenné, the oldest known city in sub-Saharan Africa, now famous for its grand mosque. Founded by merchants around 800 AD, Djenné was once a flourishing trading hub.

The design for these earrings was inspired by the statement hoops worn by the semi-nomadic Fulani people, known for being adorned with spun jewellery, 'bhoylé' earrings and 'moullé' bracelets. Traditionally, these earrings are made with solid gold and given to brides-to-be as wedding gifts.
