Wengué

Wenge wood necklace with gold plated chain.

Wenge is a dark brown grained wood found mainly in the tropical and equatorial regions of Africa. It is known for its strong connection to spirituality and protection. The wood is believed to have the ability to give off a soothing energy, which encourages the slowing down of thought, making it a perfect tool for meditation. Worn as a pendant of some kind, it creates a harmonious mood and centred thinking in the wearer, calming the temperament and encouraging learning.

The Selva collection, with its geometric shapes, is inspired by goldsmithing. The precious wood, its finesse and natural colours stand out. This jewellery is eco-responsible, a product of the upcycling process: with the aim of saving rare wood species and giving new life to leftover wood that cannot be used in other products, a jewel is designed and manufactured by hand that is unique, reminding us of the magic of trees as generators of life on the planet.
