Gold, symbol and ceremony. Jewellery for the day you say yes, in the language of Gye Nyame, Akoma and Sankofa.

The crown

Gold, worn high

In a traditional ceremony the gold begins at the crown and runs to the neck. Symbols are chosen for what they say: Gye Nyame for faith, Akoma for patience and love, Sankofa for remembering where you come from.

Together

One symbol, close to the face

Away from the ceremony, less is enough. A single piece at the ear, chosen because it means something, and nothing else competing with the day.
