Sterling Silver hook earrings with hand-cut brass Acacia Tree on Acacia wood with handmade Sterling Silver Gold plated hooks.
Inspired by my love for Kenya’s striking yellow-barked acacia trees, this adjustable ring holds a piece of naturally fallen acacia wood within matt-finished sterling silver. A delicate, hand-cut silver acacia motif rests across the wood, preserving the tree’s story in wearable form.
During the rains, part of a yellow-barked acacia fell naturally. Rather than allow the wood to be discarded, we salvaged a section and transformed it into jewellery, giving new purpose to a material already shaped by the Kenyan landscape.
A limited collection that has taken time, thought and effort to create, hand cut and treat the wood, polish and preserve while cutting the acacia trees paying close attention to detail, the end result has been rewarding.
The matt-finished brass acacia brings a warm, earthy golden tone to the design, echoing the sunlit bark and dry grasslands of Kenya while giving the tree a beautifully natural, understated character.
Acacias are vital to the ecosystem: their leaves and branches provide food for giraffes, elephants, rhinos and other herbivores, while birds and insects rely on them for shelter and habitat. This conservation inspired design celebrates their importance while reflecting SuhaniMara’s commitment to thoughtful reuse, Kenyan craftsmanship and storytelling through nature.
Part of SuhaniMara’s Nature collection, the Acacia tree is both landscape and symbol, carrying ideas of shade, resilience, and rooted belonging and preserving East Africa through modern craftsmanship.
