‘In Love With Nature’- Handcrafted Jewelry by Dabanga
If you love unique and colorful jewelry that expresses your distinctive sense of style, you would love Dabanga jewelry. These handcrafted jewelry designs are made by Mozambique native, Dabanga dos Santos. She describes her work as a contemporary fusion of world cultures that exude a vintage aesthetic. She is a profound lover of Mother Nature and tries to communicate that through her work. The jewelry pieces are usually made of copper, brass, pearls, non-endangered species of coral, turquoise, recycled metal, fabric leather and suede. She recently showcased her jewelry at Africa Fashion Week New York (AFWNY).
Here are some of the designer’s favorite pieces:

The first one is my favourite. Apart from the wire bangles i think this is a very wearable collection.
