Like a hoop earring turned on its head, these lightweight earrings are comprised of a suspended circle of solid brass hanging from a stationary rod, adding a little bit of movement to your ear. Their name comes from the slang term used by Kenyans to refer to their capital city, Nairobi, in statements like, 'Wacha nipenye Kanairo kiasi...' or 'Let me head in to Nairobi for a bit.' We think these new earrings will go well with any of your quick cosmopolitan jaunts, too!

This is special because...
We designed your new piece of jewelry in collaboration with Kenya-based jeweler, Angela Stephens. This exclusive solid brass collection — some embellished with ethically harvested cow bone and horn — is proudly handcrafted by the Anganza Community Project in Kibera, Nairobi’s largest slum. The program provides disadvantaged women with vocational training, a safe work environment, fair and dependable compensation and financial skills.
