About

Afiyara jewelry is bold, unique and, at times, eccentric but at the root it represents living out loud while also expressing pride in your heritage. It incorporates colorful crystals and African beads and is handmade by myself in my studio, meaning that no two necklaces are exactly the same.

Each crystal has its own meaning and “healing properties” that push you towards transformation/growth. Afiyara is the physical manifestation of the Ghanaian word “sankofa” which means understanding your past to confidently step forward into the future. I am forever inspired by my Ghanaian-Jamaican background and I hope these pieces in turn inspire you to connect more with your roots and with yourself.
