Fofoo Adinkra Stud Earrings – Hand-Crafted in Ghana

These distinctive sterling silver stud earrings are rich in meaning, inspired by the Fofoo Adinkra symbol and expertly hand-crafted in Ghana. More than just adornment, they reflect cultural depth and traditional wisdom.

The Fofoo plant symbol relates to the Akan proverb:
“Se die fofoo pɛ, ne sɛ gyinantwi abo bedie” – meaning “What the fofoo plant wants is for the gyinantwi seeds to turn black.” This expression likens the plant’s nature to envy, making it a powerful reminder of self-awareness and reflection.

Adinkra symbols are widely embraced within Ashanti culture, where they serve not only as decorative elements but also as meaningful representations of values, experiences, and beliefs.

  • Symbol: Fofoo – associated with envy and introspection

  • Material: Sterling Silver

  • Handmade in Ghana

  • Size: Approx. 0.4 inches (1 cm) diameter

  • Packaging: Comes boxed with a polishing cloth

A thoughtful gift or a meaningful addition to your collection, these earrings carry centuries of wisdom in a beautifully simple form.
