Artisan’s Perspective
Handmade in Ethiopia by Nina Jewelries and Wood Art, this piece is rooted in cultural storytelling through design. The Afro comb has long stood as a powerful symbol within African communities, representing beauty, care, identity, and heritage.
In this interpretation, the comb is elevated into wearable art, further strengthened by the inclusion of fist motifs that symbolize resilience, solidarity, and African strength. The wooden material connects the piece back to nature, grounding the symbolism in something raw and authentic.
Every engraving is carefully carved by hand, creating a rhythm of lines and texture that enhances both the visual and emotional depth of the piece. The contrast between warm brown wood and dark etched details gives it a bold yet natural finish, making it more than just an accessory, it becomes a statement of identity.

Care and Safety
Moisture Protection: Wood is an organic, porous material. To prevent warping or damage to the engravings, remove your earrings before swimming, showering, or walking in heavy rain.
Natural Luster: If the wood begins to look dull over time, you can restore its glow by rubbing a tiny drop of natural coconut or mineral oil onto the surface with a soft cloth.
Storage: Store in a dry, cool place. Avoid keeping them in a damp bathroom environment, as moisture can affect the wood's integrity.
