"Kiungo" means "link" in Swahili. This linked necklace is a fashion statement - and also is a way to link you and the artisans who handcrafted it together.
This bold necklace is handcrafted in Kibera slums, Kenya out of repurposed metal! It's heart pendant is hammered on one side, and flat on the reverse. I cannot express enough the work on these pieces! EACH brass link is hand pounded, hand crafted! The bar on the toggle clasp is longer than most so you don't have to worry about it slipping off.
Length: 18" plus 1" hammered heart
Tip: reversible. Wear with pendant in front or back! Perfect for layering or wearing on it's own.
Our world changing fashion is all individually handcrafted, and therefore small imperfections, differences in shape, size and colour can happen and are part of the charm of a handmade product - reminding us an actual person made this item just for you.
*Metal may darken over time. Polish with toothpaste and rinse with warm water. Dry with soft cloth.
