The inspiration of this collection comes from handicrafts of African tribes made of a traditional material for those craftsmen – elephant tail hair. According to a tradition of South African tribes, which is thousands of years old, an elephant is seen as an animal with a connection between the sky and the Earth. According to African folk beliefs, wearing jewellery, especially bracelets, made from elephant`s hair protects against diseases and ensures good luck. Each of a few hairs, often a dozen or so, rolled around a wrist symbolizes different aspects of life: love, health, harmony, wealth, etc. Knots that connect this fibre symbolise caring hands of a god that keeps guard on human fate. A bunch of black thin thongs or hairy cotton strings indistinguishably reminds one of African craft. The only thing to do is to add some amber elements. The amber which completes this collection is in earthy colours, often containing organic debris which emphasises natural inspiration.
