Odette Horn Necklace
Make a statement with the Odette Horn Necklace. Created by the talented artisans of Étainerie y’I Huye, the only cooperative of tin workers in Rwanda, who melt, shape, sand and polish recycled tin into beautiful works of art. Upcycled Ankole cow horn set in recycled tin hung on a 16" sterling silver chain. Pendant of varied horn color measures 4" x 3 1/2". Polish with silver cloth to maintain luster.
Inspired Design: Indego Africa creates unique, handcrafted products inspired by the vibrant colors and rich cultural traditions of Rwanda, while providing education and economic empowerment for its partner artisan cooperatives.
About this Maker
Indego Africa
Indego Africa is a nonprofit social enterprise and lifestyle brand that supports artisans in Rwanda through economic empowerment and education. Indego Africa works to break intergenerational cycles of poverty by providing predominantly female artisans with the tools and support to reclaim their own futures, flourish as independent businesspeople and drive development in their communities.
The company's Rwandan staff works on-site to provide practical, hands-on training in quality control, design, and product management to artisan cooperatives. 100% of profits fund job skills training programs in business management, technology, entrepreneurship and literacy. Through these education programs artisans develop the knowledge and skills to engage independently with global markets and grow their own businesses.
