In Wolof, Àdduna means 'Earth and all life upon it' and our small Àdduna studs present miniature worlds of oceanic texture, rippling across your ear.
Made entirely by hand, from natural and recycled materials, our partners in Senegal make each piece by pouring 100% recycled silver into a mould of hand-carved cuttlefish bone and then dipping it in gold.
As they make a new mould for every piece, each pendant has its own unique texture—like a fingerprint from the ocean.
They even texturize the back of the earrings, to make sure every detail is enjoyable to wear.
