Artisan Origins: Nairobi, Kenya
Statement, cascading earrings with hammered textures.
Reminiscent of rustling golden spring leaves, the MAJI Earrings are artfully handcrafted from traditional craftsmanship techniques with our artisans in Kenya.
About Artisan & Fox:
Artisan & Fox is an ethical marketplace seeking to connect you to extraordinary craftsmanship sourced from across the Majority World. They empower artisans - silversmiths, weavers, and other makers alike - who are cut off from international markets; be it due to infrastructural barriers, political and societal unrest, or rural conditions.
They only collaborate with independent artisans, artisan cooperatives, and certified non-profits, and work to ensure that artisans receive 50% of the profits from your purchase. Their remaining profits are reinvested into their social programmes, such as zero-interest micro-credit (Thrive Transfers), and their pro-bono outreach with Syrian refugees (Threads of Syria).
Artisan & Fox - Maji Earring
Materials:
Fully made from upcycled brass in Kenya. Ion Plated Earhooks.
Dimensions:
6.5cm x 2cm.
While each piece of jewellery is made to last, brass naturally tarnishes with oxidation and exposure to weather.
To refresh your artisan's craft to its original shine, simply use a wedge of lemon, and polish along the tarnished surface with a small cotton towel.
