Conta d'odj Africa earrings

This handcrafted brass jewellery features a powerful cultural element—the conta d’odjú bead—a black bead adorned with white dots, traditionally worn to protect against the evil eye. Commonly found in Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, and southern Senegal, the conta d’odjú carries deep spiritual meaning and continues to be cherished across generations for its protective energy.

Crafted by skilled artisans, each piece combines the warm, golden tones of hand-shaped brass with the bold, mystical presence of the bead. It's said that when the conta d’odjú absorbs negative energy, it may mysteriously develop a hole, revealing it has shielded the wearer from harm.

More than a striking accessory, this piece serves as a symbol of protection, tradition, and cultural pride—connecting you to the spiritual wisdom of West Africa.
