Mbombo’s First Creation Earrings
These striking Mbombo beans look more like small jade gem stones than beans. Named after the creator god of the Kuba people of Central Africa in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, these little beans contain the creation of the universe! A single Mbombo bean dangles below a dainty sky blue bead, emblematic of Mbombo’s first creation, the sky with the light and darkness. A note to the buyer: Thank you for supporting my small business and passion project. It is truly my joy to create and share my work with you. Slight changes in color and traces of the artisanal process are part of the art of creating jewelry with natural elements. The piece you receive may not be identical to the one shown in the pictures.
