Shabama Been Rigid Necklace #Shiny Gold 1 U

Introducing the Been rigid necklace in shiny gold, a stunning piece from Shabama’s Africa collection. This line showcases jewelry that masterfully blends traditional designs from the region with contemporary aesthetics. Each piece is a tribute to the rich tapestry of cultures found across the African continent, allowing wearers to connect with the beauty of far-off landscapes. Adornments that capture fragments of history, storytelling, and style are found within this collection.

The designs aim to celebrate the origins and the vibrant essence of various African civilizations, highlighting the fusion of cultures. Jewelry has existed long before written or spoken language, crafted from materials like bones, shells, tusks, and teeth, forming unique ornaments. The earliest known jewelry was unearthed in South Africa’s Blombos cave. The term “Been” translates to bone in an African language, which plays a central role in this piece's inspiration, nodding to both prehistoric adornments and African heritage.

This necklace features a sleek, thin rigid hoop made of brass plated with gold that includes a secure rear closure, and it is complemented by a pendant shaped like a stylized bone, characterized by gentle lines and flowing curves. The hoop boasts a diameter of 13 cm, while the pendant extends to 10 cm in length, making it a striking accessory that stands out. The necklace is adorned with a gold flash finish, and the ring is crafted from 0.5 micron gold-plated brass.
