yandé

The «Yandé» earrings from the «AMOSSA» collection embody a rich and deep symbolism. Composed of cowries, these loops celebrate fertility and protection, concepts deeply rooted in African culture. Cowries are often seen as symbols of fertility, prosperity and well-being in many of the continent’s traditions. The choice of the name «Yandé», meaning «the pampered woman» in Serer language, adds an additional layer of meaning to these earrings. It evokes the idea of taking care of women, honouring them and recognizing their importance in society. When wearing the «Yandé» earrings, one wears not only an aesthetic accessory, but also a deep cultural symbol. They become a means of affirming femininity, protection and celebration of women in all their dimensions. The «AMOSSA» collection thus seems to capture the very essence of African culture, incorporating significant symbols into artistic creations that transcend simple aesthetics to tell a rich cultural story.
