Melding the shell with gold plated brass, freshwater pearls, precious stones, and cow horn, Kauwri crafts quality pieces that transcend mere accessories, becoming wearable stories.

In a commitment to sustainability, Kauwri employs recycled brass for its cast pieces and collaborates with skilled artisans from Kibra, contributing to income equality and community upliftment. Beyond aesthetics, each purchase becomes a ripple of positive change, supporting education, healthcare, and skill development.

The inaugural Celestial Collection invites you on a cosmic journey, mirroring the allure of the universe through the moon, sun, stars, and planets intertwined with the earthly charm of cowrie shells. This collection isn't just jewelry; it's an ode to limitless creative expression.
