Tahoua cuff

When we first saw this cuff plunged in gold, we said to ourselves "Wow, Cleopatra's cuff! She must have had one like this!"

His history:

In the Sahara, patterns and jewelry often have magical powers. For the Tuaregs, the Woodabe Peulhs, each small object hanging on the body carries a meaning, a history, a force that protects them, gives them courage to face the desert.

I was inspired by these talismans to design the "Les Grigris" collection. This cuff is inspired by the openwork facades of houses in the city of Tahoua in Niger.

Our approach:

At Ombre Claire, the greatest luxury is the delicacy given to small things, the delicacy of the lines, the carving, the care taken in the choice of materials. Elegance comes from the material, from the knowledge of shared know-how and from the respect shown to all those who participate in the adventure.

Ombre Claire is committed to an ethical and fair approach from one end of the production chain to the other.
