Handmade in Accra by artisan Kamal, this adjustable copper bangle pairs meaningful design with timeless craft. Its open ends are finished with rose quartz and amethyst, two crystals long celebrated for their healing and symbolic properties.

• Rose Quartz, often called the stone of love, is cherished for fostering compassion, emotional healing, and harmony in relationships.

• Amethyst, revered since antiquity, is known as a stone of protection and clarity, believed to bring calm, balance, and spiritual awareness.

Shaped from pure copper—a metal prized for its warmth, grounding energy, and evolving patina—this bangle only grows more beautiful with time. Its open, adjustable design allows for a versatile and comfortable fit on any wrist.

A piece that merges artistry, symbolism, and style, this bangle is more than jewelry—it’s a wearable reminder of love, balance, and inner peace.

Wash at 30° / hand wash, iron on low heat.

Origin & history: Fugu (also called batakari for the sewn smock garment) refers to strip-woven cloth from Northern Ghana (notably among Dagomba, Mamprusi, Gonja, and other groups). Traditions recount influence from the Mossi/Moshie of Ouagadougou. Historically, smocks carried social and protective associations and, in some accounts, were worn in warfare or ritual contexts.

Technique & look: plain/warp-faced strip weaving on double-heddle narrow looms; sturdy cotton (sometimes with indigo) produces hard-wearing strips that are stitched and later tailored into the iconic smock silhouette. Patterns range from minimalist stripe layouts to richly banded indigo/undyed schemes. 

How we source: we source fugu from the Upper West Region of Ghana and have worked with the same trusted weaver since 2018, ensuring continuity and quality.

All our fabrics are treated to resist dye and stay true to their colours for years. 

Threaded Tribes is plastic free and committed to a full re-use of scraps.

This outfit was hand crafted in our Accra workshop using local fabrics with careful water usage and waste management.
