The Signature Piece of the Manhyia Collection

The Manhyia Earrings by Dear Katiopae are your everyday connection to West African royal heritage — handcrafted in Ghana, worn wherever you carry your story.

Named after Manhyia — the palace of the Ashanti King in Kumasi, Ghana — and inspired by the cultural traditions of the Ashanti of Ghana, the Akan, and the Baoulé of Ivory Coast, these earrings are the heart of the Dear Katiopae Prelude collection. Elegant, wearable, and deeply meaningful.

✋ Handmade in Ghana — Ancient Lost Wax Technique

Every pair of Manhyia Earrings is individually hand-cast by skilled artisans in Ghana using the lost wax (cire perdue) technique — one of the world's oldest and most respected metalworking methods. Sculpted, cast, and finished entirely by hand. No two pairs are exactly alike.
