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 silver bead.

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.

Silver Bead
While it carries no symbolic meaning, the polished silver bead adds a touch of elegance and contrast to the warm copper tones. Its simple beauty elevates the design, making this ring equally suited for everyday wear or as a standout accessory.

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 effortless style.

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.
