ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
This Ethiopian trinket necklace carries the ancient artistry of Ethiopian silversmiths who have perfected the lost wax casting method for generations. Each piece begins with a careful wax design, encased in clay and left to dry under the African sun before hot metal is poured to create the final form.
Cast from an authentic Ethiopian antique trinket sourced from the markets of Addis Ababa, this brass pendant is dipped in 22k gold and strung on nylon cord with gold plated beads. The lost wax method ensures each piece captures intricate details that speak to centuries of craftsmanship.
This handcrafted necklace brings the rich cultural heritage of Ethiopian metalwork to your daily ritual, connecting you to the slow, intentional artistry of traditional craftspeople.
