Kikundi Talisman Necklace – Pink Tourmaline & Sapphire
This handmade charm necklace features a cluster of hand-carved sterling silver charms suspended from a modern paperclip chain. Among the charms are a watermelon tourmaline and a pink sapphire — known for emotional healing and love. The necklace moves with the wearer, catching the light and making a subtle statement. Kikundi means “cluster” in Swahili — the perfect name for this curated collection of meaningful charms.
Kikundi Talisman Necklace – Green Tourmaline Duo
This version of the Kikundi charm necklace features both forest and lime green tourmalines, known to inspire vitality, growth, and creativity. One of the charms is inspired by the sun masks of Burkina Faso, celebrating African heritage and the power of the sun. A wearable talisman rich in symbolism and colour.
Zuberi Dagger Necklace
A bold, sculptural pendant inspired by traditional African daggers, this statement necklace features a deep rhodolite garnet (for emotional balance), two aquamarines (clarity), and a cornflower blue sapphire (wisdom). The name Zuberi means 'strong' in Swahili — a perfect fit for this powerful piece. The chunky pendant hangs from an oval belcher chain and looks striking worn solo or layered.
Mvula Droplet Garnet Necklace
Eight portrait-cut Tunduru garnets shimmer across this silver ball chain necklace in shades of golden yellow, like drops of sunshine. Each garnet is set in a soft organic droplet shape, giving the piece a tactile, fluid feel. Mvula means 'rain' in Shona — a fitting name for this golden, rain-inspired design.
Taji Amethyst & Black Opal Necklace
This eye-catching statement necklace pairs a rich purple amethyst (spiritual awareness) with a vivid black opal from Lightning Ridge (creativity, self-expression), all set in a bold silver pendant. A chunky curb chain adds edge, while the name Taji — meaning 'crown' in Swahili — reinforces the regal energy of this one-of-a-kind piece.
Sabi Charm Crocodile Bracelet
A chunky silver curb chain bracelet that features a hand-carved crocodile charm and a pebble charm, with a deep green tourmaline set into its surface. Crocodiles symbolise resilience and adaptability, while green tourmaline is associated with healing and growth. The piece fastens with a seamless hinged clasp. Sabi takes its name from the Sabi River, flowing through southern Africa — wild, strong, and enduring.
Molten Heart Ring
A weighty, sculptural heart ring with a London blue topaz at its centre, flanked by pink sapphires and a green peridot. London blue topaz is linked to clarity and truth, while pink sapphires represent love and resilience, and peridot symbolises renewal. With its substantial form, this heart stone ring must fit properly and cannot be resized — a reminder to choose your size with care.
Sunburst Heart Ring
At the centre of this radiant ring is a heart-cut Madeira citrine (creativity, manifestation), surrounded by hand-carved sunburst lines. Off to the side, a pink tourmaline and deep blue sapphire bring playfulness and depth. An everyday heart ring with uplifting energy and colour.
Thando Heart Ring
Featuring a juicy rhodolite garnet at its centre, this silver heart ring balances simplicity with character. The sterling silver band is etched with a repeating linear pattern, making it as tactile as it is stylish. Thando means 'love' in Zulu — a beautiful reminder to lead with your heart.
Mombasa Aquamarine Ring
A show-stopping aquamarine sits at the heart of this textured silver ring. With its internal inclusions and icy blue glow, aquamarine is believed to soothe and protect. The unique knife-edge band wraps around the finger, making this handmade ring a subtle statement with oceanic energy. Named after the coastal city of Mombasa.
Solara Citrine Charm Hoops
Golden baguette-cut citrines (joy, success) are nestled in silver settings dotted with textured spheres, creating a rich tactile feel. The silver hoops themselves are etched with a repeating line pattern, making these earrings as playful as they are elegant. Perfect worn solo or in a stack. Solara evokes the energy of the sun.
Nandi Butterfly Studs – Pink Tourmaline
These hand-carved sterling silver butterfly studs feature pink tourmalines in their centres, symbolising compassion and emotional balance. No two are exactly the same, adding to their charm. Nandi means “sweet” or “giving joy” — just like these dainty everyday studs.
Nandi Butterfly Studs – Golden Tourmaline
A glowing golden tourmaline sits at the centre of these delicate butterfly studs. The hand-carved wings add texture and individuality, making each pair unique. This version brings a warm, honeyed glow — a joyful nod to nature’s palette.
Nandi Butterfly Studs – Deep Green Tourmaline
This moody, earthy variation features deep green tourmalines — associated with grounding, compassion and courage. The butterfly silhouette brings a sense of transformation and freedom. A poetic pairing of gemstone meaning and design.
