An artisan hammering brass jewellery in a Nairobi workshop

Two homes, one craft

Made in Nairobi. Shipped from Florida.

Our Kenya workshop sits in the capital city Nairobi, where recycled brass is hammered into collars and cast into signets. Finished pieces travel to our fulfilment studio in Orlando, Florida, so US orders arrive in days rather than weeks — with the same maker's card tucked inside.
