Artisan Origins: Kisumu, Kenya
The NUSA Choker accentuates the neckline and draws attention with its hand-hammered textures that reflects light beautifully.
PRODUCT INFORMATION
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
While each piece of jewellery is made to last, brass naturally tarnishes with oxidation and exposure to weather. To refresh your artisan's craft to its original shine, simply use a wedge of lemon, and polish along the tarnished surface with a small cotton towel. Keep in a cool and dry place.
KNOW THE ARTISAN
The NUSA Choker is handcrafted by the artisan Ojiko from the Kenyan port town of Kisumu. Having picked up the art of jewellery making in 2006 from a local apprenticeship in Nairobi, Ojiko’s biggest dream is to teach others to create jewellery in the hope that it will, in turn, help his local community.

ABOUT THE BRAND
Artisan & Fox is an ethical marketplace seeking to connect you to extraordinary craftsmanship sourced from across the Majority World. They empower artisans - silversmiths, weavers, and other makers alike - who are cut off from international markets; be it due to infrastructural barriers, political and societal unrest, or rural conditions.
They only collaborate with independent artisans, artisan cooperatives, and certified non-profits, and work to ensure that artisans receive 50% of the profits from your purchase. Their remaining profits are reinvested into their social programmes, such as zero-interest micro-credit (Thrive Transfers), and their pro-bono outreach with Syrian refugees (Threads of Syria).
