Inspired by the rich traditions of the Mossi people, this handcrafted necklace captures a sense of youthful elegance. Ila Suleyman, the designer, affectionately calls this piece ‘Pogsada,’ which means young woman in Mossi. Sourced from Burkina Faso, where the Mossi community thrives on millet and cattle farming, this necklace tells a story of culture and craftsmanship.
The centerpiece features a stunning cow bone pendant, surrounded by vibrant sese wood and terracotta beads. The bold blue beads, made from recycled plastic, provide a striking contrast, while the necklace fastens securely with a durable brass hook. This unique handcrafted necklace for women not only makes a statement but also supports sustainable practices.
Materials: Cow bone, terracotta, recycled plastic, sese wood, brass S-hook. Handcrafted item — color, size, and motif may vary slightly. Dimensions: Necklace: 22 in. L x 0.6 in. W; Pendant: 1.4 in. L x 2.2 in. W.
