OUR STORY

–

The Rwandan word for History, or things we keep, Amateka was inspired by the traditions of many cultures I've experienced traveling through Africa, Europe, Southeast Asia, India and Central America.
Mixing patterns, colors and textures with crystals, gemstones and other natural materials, each bracelet is a unique wearable work of art. Designed to invoke your imagination and inner spirit; I hope it gives you as much pleasure to wear as it gave me to create it.

Enjoy- you deserve it!

A portion of the profits on each bracelet are sent to the Imizi Children’s Center in Rwamagana, Rwanda.
