Handcrafted in Accra by local artisan Kamal, this unisex ring is a true collectible—carrying its own character and charm. Every piece is meticulously wrapped from pure copper, designed with a spiral form and accented with a single citrine crystal.

The beauty of Kamal’s technique lies in its adjustability: the rings can be opened wide or tightened to fit comfortably on any finger, making them versatile and wearable for everyone.

DETAILS

Copper
Copper has been cherished for centuries, not only for its warm, earthy glow but also for its natural properties. Known to develop a unique patina over time, copper jewelry tells its own evolving story the more you wear it. It’s also believed in many cultures to carry healing and grounding qualities, helping to balance energy and promote well-being.

Citrine
Citrine, often called the stone of abundance, is cherished for its vibrant golden hue and uplifting energy. It is believed to attract prosperity, creativity, and joy while encouraging confidence and clarity of thought. Wearing citrine is said to invite positivity and light into your daily life.

A statement piece, a cultural keepsake, and a touch of timeless craft—this ring is more than jewelry, it’s art for your hands with energy that inspires.

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.
