Rongai Necklace
A stunning collection of dangling pendants gather on this brass piece for a true work of unique design. Named in honor of the town in Kenya of Rongai — the place that our artisans call home– this brilliant accessory is handmade, from the brass circular pendant to the smooth glass and stone beads. The largest portion of the pendant is the ethically-sourced horn bead, made from animal horn that would be discarded, as part of meat processing, if not used otherwise. The high level of skill required by each Sasa Designs artisan is clear in this stunning piece of wearable art.

The quality is excellent and the design stands out. It’s a thoughtful gift that feels both stylish and sustainable. The only minor note is that the chain is a bit long for my preference, but it’s adjustable.
