kauwri

Welcome to Kauwri, where the beauty of nature meets the artistry of handmade jewelry. Our brand, a play on the word "cowrie," specializes in crafting exquisite pieces inspired by the iconic cowrie shell and the wonders of the natural world. Based in Nairobi, Kenya, we proudly collaborate with skilled artisans from Kibera, Africa's largest urban slum, embodying our commitment to income equality and quality craftsmanship. Established in September 2023, Kauwri is a young business fueled by a passion for jewelry design and a deep appreciation for Kenyan culture. Inspired by the belief in the symbolic power of cowrie shells, our mission is to create contemporary pieces that honor African heritage while adding a touch of elegance to modern style. Join us on our journey as we weave together tradition, craftsmanship, and the timeless allure of cowrie shells to create jewelry that resonates with the soul.
