Ring of Ndoros in Sterling Silver

Our sweet, dainty ring of Ndoros is hand-cut and hand-engraved in Sterling Silver. This ring is perfect on its own and also pairs beautifully with all our stacking rings. The band is approximately 3.5 to 4 mm wide and varies depending on the size of the band.

Ndoros are an ancient symbol of wealth and status used during the Great Zimbabwe Empire and across Africa, dating back to the 11th century.

Ndoros were originally made from conus shells and due to their high demand were later manufactured from porcelain. The people of Great Zimbabwe adopted this as their currency and into their culture. The number of Ndoros your wife wore directly indicated not only your wealth, but also your status in the community.

We handcraft every Ndoro ourselves in Zimbabwe, and are proud to say that due to their handmade nature, no two Ndoros are exactly the same.
