Ndoro Ring - Small - in Sterling Silver

This petite and whimsical Ndoro ring in Sterling Silver is the little sister to our original single-band Ndoro ring. This piece has a 10 mm diameter Ndoro, paired with a thinner Sterling Silver band. This gift is great for someone who isn't into chunky rings but still loves the enchantment of our unique and artistic Ndoro design.

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Ndoros were originally made from conus shells and due to their high demand were later manufactured from porcelain.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.
