FAQs

Many jewelers have played with or enhanced the designs of their African elephant hair style bangles and bracelet. We pride ourselves on often being rated as the most typical designs from East or Southern Africa. In large part this is because we use fully rounded wire throughout for comfort, strength and longevity and therefore we do not need to embellish the knots for extra strength.

In addition, we learned from importing thousands of bracelets from Kenya and South Africa before they were unable to supply us with the quality, materials and many variations in sizing that African aficionados want today.

There are many stories about the knots and their significance. A popular one is the chief gave these bracelets to his wives. Others say he made two knot bracelets if he had two wives, three if he had three wives, four if he had four wives, etc.
