Manhyia Sandal Ring | Handmade Ashanti Bronze — Unisex

Wear the Symbol of Ashanti Royalty on Your Finger

The Manhyia Sandal Ring by Dear Katiopae is a handcrafted statement ring rooted in the royal traditions of West Africa — made to be worn by those who carry their heritage with pride.

Named after Manhyia — the palace of the Ashanti King in Kumasi, Ghana — this ring is inspired by the cultural legacy of the Ashanti of Ghana, the Akan, and the Baoulé of Ivory Coast, who carry this shared ancestral lineage across West Africa.

✋ Handmade in Ghana — Ancient Lost Wax Technique

Every Manhyia Sandal Ring is individually hand-cast by skilled artisans in Ghana using the lost wax (cire perdue) technique — one of the world's oldest and most revered metalworking methods. Each ring is sculpted, cast, and finished entirely by hand. No two pieces are exactly alike.
