Akan Friendship bracelet by Aflé Bijoux @helene_jorant (Aflé Bijoux lover) contacted us with a special request for her 40th birthday. She wanted a bracelet that would remind her of her time in Cote d’Ivoire where she attended high school. Knowing her for years, I knew she would like something colourful, typical, meaningful and precious, something that will remind her of the sunny weekends in Assinie, of the crafts markets and museums in Abidjan🇨🇮. I have designed this Akan friendship bracelet with African trade beads, cowrie shell, Akan Goldweight, antique gold elements, selected gemstones and some waxed threads that we used to make our waxed cord bracelets when we were teenagers. ❤️ #aflebijoux #friendshipbracelets #friendshipbracelet #africantradebeads #akangoldweights #friends #teenagers #foreveryoung #africa #expats #memories #grewupinafrica #happylife #sunnybeach #assinie #culture #heritage #lifestyle (à Montagny, Rhône) https://www.instagram.com/p/CS6nq4Rs9rl/?utm_medium=tumblr
