Manhyia Square Earrings | Handmade Ashanti Gold Brass

Manhyia Square Earrings | Handmade Ashanti Gold Brass

Geometric Elegance Rooted in Royal West African Heritage

The Manhyia Square Earrings by Dear Katiopae are a celebration of geometry, culture, and artisan mastery — handcrafted in Ghana for those who wear their heritage with quiet confidence.

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 bring geometric beauty and cultural depth to your everyday style.

✋ Handmade in Ghana — Ancient Lost Wax Technique

Every pair of Manhyia Square 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.

👑 The Geometry of Ashanti Heritage

Geometric forms have been central to Akan and Ashanti artistic tradition for centuries — found in kente weave patterns, adinkra symbols, and architectural designs that encode meaning, identity, and cultural values into every line and angle. The square form is a symbol of stability, balance, and foundation — qualities that resonate deeply in West African philosophical tradition.

When you wear the Manhyia Square Earrings, you wear that geometric heritage — elegantly distilled into a 3cm pair of artisan-made gold earrings.
