Handcrafted by survivor artisans, from brass and sterling silver posts the stunning Mbale earrings are sustainably made in a solar-powered workshop in Malawi. They come with a satin finish. No two pieces are identical— slight variations should be embraced.

'Mbale' means 'Plate' in Tumbuka, the language of Northern Malawi.

Brass with satin finish and sterling silver posts.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS: Clean unwanted tarnish and patina using the pro-polish pad provided. Alternatively, you can make a paste of baking soda and lemon juice as needed.
