Damé Earrings in Gold Vermeil

The Damé earrings are an elegant original Mabel Brempong design that have been handcrafted in sterling silver with 18K solid Gold vermeil to be worn for many generations to come. Damé Damé comes from the Akan Tribe in Ghana as part of their Adinkra Symbols and means "checkered", referring to a unique local game that uses round pieces to play. The dome shape that hugs the earlobe mirrors the round piece used and symbolizes intelligence, strategy, and ingenuity.

The intricate leaves that dangle below are inspired by wild trees that can be seen growing with resilience in the most difficult environments. These details represent wishes of growth, authenticity, renewed life, and hope for the future as we learn and move through every season of life we are granted to live.
