Description

Handcrafted from upcycled coconut shells, the Adom Shell Drops are a celebration of Ghanaian artistry, sustainability, and meaning. Adom means “grace” in Akan, perfectly capturing these earrings—lightweight, earthy, distinctive, and created with purpose.

Each pair is handmade in Ghana by our Fair Trade partner Akooshi, whose artisans transform discarded coconut shells into wearable art. What might otherwise be waste is given another life through creativity and craftsmanship.

The Meaning Behind the Symbol

Sankofa — Learning From the Past

Sankofa is often translated as “Go back and fetch it.” The symbol teaches that there is value in returning to the past to retrieve the knowledge, lessons, and wisdom we need to move forward.

It’s a message at the heart of Ayebea’s Sankofa Marketplace: honoring what came before us while using that knowledge to shape what comes next.

Wear these earrings as a reminder that looking back doesn’t mean staying there. We can honor our history, learn from it, and still move forward with intention.
