We're a huge fan of these new drop earrings, and the juxtaposition of traditional Kenyan Batik* bone with modern form. A half moon of solid brass holds a concentric crescent of paper thin cow bone - a sustainably harvested byproduct of beef industry.
*Batik Bone is a dynamic art form in which motifs are applied by resist-dyeing the material. Please note that each piece has a slightly different and wonderfully unique pattern.

This is special because...
We designed your new piece of jewelry in collaboration with Kenya-based jeweler, Angela Stephens. This exclusive solid brass collection — some embellished with ethically harvested cow bone and horn — is proudly handcrafted by the Anganza Community Project in Kibera, Nairobi’s largest slum. The program provides disadvantaged women with vocational training, a safe work environment, fair and dependable compensation and financial skills.
This item is shipped directly from a partnering retailer, Abroad Modern, which focuses on sustainably and ethically manufactured goods as well as social causes! This means you may receive your order in multiple shipments (if you are ordering more than one item) and if it is being made-to-order, please be mindful of the designer's individually allocated lead times! We are proudly connecting our customers and the designers we love in a direct way in the hopes that we can support other small businesses in tandem with our own! Items that are shipped directly from the maker incur a shipping fee that is uniquely set by those designers, and we handle all the rest from there!
