Owu Earrings

This jewellery celebrates the  proud culture behind the Nigerian threading hairstyles.  Hair threading has its roots  tracing back to the 15th century. It has in recent years fallen out of  fashion. This shiny black cotton  thread is referred to as Owu in Yoruba language in Nigeria. The jewel gives a nostalgic feeling of her childhood and youth. This  jewellery shape, design and  texture is reminiscent of the Owu “thread for hair” design which is  sprung around a carved white cardboard paper with curved edges. These pieces are made with durable brass base with stainless steel pin, black thread  with 18 karat thick gold plating.
