Artisan’s Perspective
Handcrafted in Ethiopia by Nina Jewelries and Wood Art, the Alem Kese Roundies Earrings highlight the beauty of circular design and detailed craftsmanship. These earrings celebrate the "Alem" (World) through the universal symbol of the circle. The piece plays with form and contrast, pairing a smooth, painted black disc with a larger engraved wooden circle beneath it.
The engraved patterns flow in a constant circular motion, creating harmony and rhythm within the design. This circular arrangement often reflects ideas of continuity, wholeness, and balance. Core themes found in many traditional art forms.
Each earring is carefully shaped and finished by hand, allowing the natural wood grain to remain visible while enhancing it with darker tones and carved detail. The addition of silver hardware introduces a subtle modern edge, completing a design that feels both grounded and refined.

The Style Guide
Works beautifully with monochrome outfits or earthy palettes. Pair with simple tops or structured fits to let the circular design stand out. The black-painted accents allow them to pop against both neutral and vibrant fabrics. To emphasize the concentric engravings, style your hair in a sleek, high ponytail or a tight bun, allowing the discs to catch the light and sway freely as you move.
Care and Safety
Moisture Protection: Wood is an organic, porous material. To prevent warping or damage to the engravings, remove your earrings before swimming, showering, or walking in heavy rain.
Natural Luster: If the wood begins to look dull over time, you can restore its glow by rubbing a tiny drop of natural coconut or mineral oil onto the surface with a soft cloth.
Storage: Store in a dry, cool place. Avoid keeping them in a damp bathroom environment, as moisture can affect the wood's integrity.
