Artisan origins: Dagoretti, Kenya

The NUSA Ring is handcrafted by the artisan Elijah. Elijah is based in Dagoretti and loves creating elegant pieces from recycled brass. Elijah's favourite part of his job is knowing someone will be wearing his piece. In the future, he hopes to open his own workshop to employ other young jewellery makers.

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).
