Ndoro Necklace 15mm in Sterling Silver
This timelessly elegant and simple Ndoro pendant in Sterling Silver is 15 mm in diameter, light-weight and rich in cultural history. The Ndoro is hung on a Sterling Silver chain with variety of lengths suited to your specific needs.
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Ndoros were originally made from conus shells and due to their high demand were later manufactured from porcelain.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.
