Styling and Pairing Ideas :
Styling Adele Dejak’s handcrafted necklaces is all about embracing bold individuality while honoring timeless elegance.
For a casual look, pair a delicate Malaika wing neckpiece chain
with a classic tee and jeans, or a breezy blouse and shorts—it’s effortless chic with an edge.
Going for a bohemian vibe? To achieve this look we can layer multiple pieces of varying lengths inspired by the Zaakoo Bead Necklace.
Aminata Necklace & Zaaba Unkite over a flowing maxi dress or a relaxed tunic for that free-spirited, artful finish.
When it comes to elegance, let a statement piece such as the Arewa Brass choker
—rich in intricate detail and artisan flair—take center stage against a silk blouse or a little black dress.
Don’t shy away from contrasts either—the Zelda Unakite beautifully complements deep tones like emerald green, navy, or burgundy, creating a striking visual play.
For Those who dare to dress, mixing metals is not off-limits: combine brass with silver or gold in the Jade neckpiece
statement piece to create a fresh, fashion-forward edge that speaks volumes without saying a word.
