Kwasi Amulet Necklace

The Kwasi Amulet Necklace by Mille Collines features a large woven sisal disc in a one-of-a-kind pattern framed in a brass mounting with a rope chord.

These pendant necklaces are made of a sisal disc handwoven by female weavers in Kigali, and then mounted in a hand-carved brass setting in Nairobi. The sisal is derived from the leaves of the ‘agave sisalana’ cactus plant; commonly used in Rwanda for the weaving of baskets, carpets and traditional architecture. The brass used in these unique necklaces is made from old padlocks that are melted in high heat and poured into a mould. The sample is then polished through a process called electroplating where a coating is applied to prevent the brass from changing colour. 

This piece is elegant and bold and comes in two unique designs: Leaves in the Sun & Coral Star.
