This brooch is a protective piece inspired by the nkondi, a mystical statuette made by the Kongo people.
The gold diamond symbolises the mysterious world of the ancestors always watching upon us and coming to life through the hammered nails (represented by the beads).
Wear it when you need reassurance.
