A playful elevation to your every day; the chain bracelet you need. Kiungo means bond in Swahili and this bracelet mirrors the connection we have with our artisans and the love for a community. She pairs effortlessly with some white linens; be it at a bar or on the beach. Made from brass, this bracelet has been hand-crafted by expert artisans in Kenya using traditional crafting and polishing techniques. The brass matches a yellow gold in colour and tone and we are proud to use recycled brass. This metal is also known to have metaphysical properties that allow one to express their true authentic self. Your purchase encourages entrepreneurship and artisan expertise in Africa. Hand-crafted from 100% recycled brass, by our artisans. It is the nature of brass to evolve over time and some love this more antique look while others prefer the pieces to remain consistent - bright and polished. Clean unwanted tarnish and darker spots using the pro polish pad provided. Simply buff with the pad until the tarnish is lifted and the piece becomes shiny again. Over a longer period of time we recommend using a mix of lemon and water - excellent for removing stubborn marks and tarnish.
