Wangera Necklace

Wangera is an African name that means traveller – apt for a necklace composed of materials that have journeyed across cultures and centuries.

At the heart of this Wangera Necklace is warm Baltic Amber. Created from fossilised resin of ancient forests that existed tens of millions of years ago, amber has travelled through time to become one of the world’s most treasured materials. Known historically as Gold of the North, it has long been associated with protection, vitality and the clearing of stagnant energy, making it a fitting element for a piece named after a voyager.

West African lost wax cast brass sun tubes add sculptural presence. Each bead is individually formed using the traditional lost wax method, a skilled process that ensures every piece is unique. The sun motif has long symbolised life force, clarity and guidance across African cultures. Ghanaian recycled glass beads introduce vibrant colour. Created through a long-standing craft tradition, these beads reflect resourcefulness and renewal, transforming discarded glass into objects of beauty.

African grey black Agate offers grounding balance. Agates have been valued since antiquity for their connection to strength, stability and emotional resilience. Tibetan Dzi Eye beads add a protective influence as they are believed to ward off negative influences. Yellow Jade accents provide a gentle aura of optimism and perseverance. The necklace is completed with a handmade brass chain, clasp and SHIKHAZURI charm.

Wangera is a celebration of exploration and the wisdom gained through experience. May it accompany you confidently on your own journey.
