Delivered in a pouch to protect your jewellery on a daily basis. This pouch is made from waste fabric by Afghan women who are part of an NGO working with refugees.

My inspiration came from the Afro-cuban gods called Orishas. Those who beleive in Orishas and therefore in the Regla de Ochoa have a spiritual protection in their everyday life. The Babalawo (the priest), thanks to the Oracle of Ifà will name an Orisha, like a guardian angel, to protect the beleiver. Each Orisha has its own color and piece of jewlery that represents his soul.
