Twiga African Earrings
EarringsMade in Kenya
"Twiga" in Kiswahili means giraffe. These long giraffe-print earrings are hand-carved from cow bone; the earrings come with a 3-inch drop. They will add a bold, authentic look to any outfit. Each pair is meticulously crafted by skilled artisans who honor traditional bone-carving techniques passed down through generations. The distinctive giraffe pattern celebrates African wildlife and cultural heritage, making these earrings a meaningful statement piece that tells a story. The lightweight bone construction ensures comfortable all-day wear, while the generous 3-inch drop creates an elegant silhouette that frames the face beautifully. Perfect for layering with other pieces or wearing solo, these earrings transition seamlessly from casual to formal occasions. Ethically sourced and sustainably crafted, Twiga earrings are ideal for those who value artisan quality and conscious fashion choices.

The earrings were made without considering an appropriate length. The literally rest on my collarbone. Also the earrings hole drilled into one of the earrings is not centered. It is off the side while the other is centered. It makes the earring hang off centered as well. I’m disappointed and will be returning them.

Really quick delivery. Love their earrings. Second order.
I ‘ve never ordered 4 items from a website that I have not worked with before I was glad I did. All 4 of my earrings ordered were perfect. Great workmanship. I want some more but, I will be purchasing some more soon.
The earring is more beautiful in person than in the pictures! i love it.
Love the size, material and look of these earrings!
Cheaply made. I was excited to order from a black owned business, but these are $1-3 earrings being sold for $20+. They will likely fall apart as soon as I wear them once. Very disappointing.
These earrings are so cute that I purchased an extra pair by mistake. Forgot I already had a pair, but my friend is about to be super excited to receive these beauties.
Very nice products
this piece is just stunning
These earrings look great on! I've gotten so many compliments!
I always get compliments on these. They are fabulous!
