Handcrafted Design & Symbolism

The rich, deep tones of the cobalt blue recycled glass beads, handmade in Ghana, complement the rose gold perfectly, blending traditional African artistry with modern elegance.

The Meaning of the Sankofa Symbol: A Reflection on the Past

At the core of this design lies the Sankofa symbol, one of the most important motifs in the Adinkra tradition of West Africa, particularly among the Akan people of Ghana. The symbol, often depicted as a bird reaching back to grab an egg or as a heart-like design, teaches the importance of learning from the past.

The Sankofa proverb translates as "Return and retrieve it," from the Akan saying:
"Se wo were fi na wosankofa a yenkyi."
Which means, “It is not wrong to go back for that which you have forgotten.”

This powerful message encourages us to seek wisdom and lessons from our past to guide us forward in life. The Sankofa symbol, intricately incorporated into each piece of this jewelry, serves as a reminder of the importance of reflection and growth.
