Dira Recycled Brass Statement Earrings

Dira Upcycled Brass Statement Earrings

Meaning "compass" in Swahili, Dira celebrates direction, intention, and the art of navigating life with purpose.These bold, sculptural earrings are handcrafted from reclaimed brass, originally sourced from broken water taps—breathing new life into forgotten materials through artisanal skill.

Inspired by the Swahili concept of dira ya maisha (life’s compass), the interlocking circles symbolise interconnected journeys and the beauty of finding balance in movement. The organic, fluid shapes echo the imperfect yet intentional path we all walk—making Dira more than an accessory, but a symbol of purposeful living.

Each piece is lovingly made by artisans in Kenya, using traditional techniques and simple tools. Every curve is hand-shaped, polished, and finished without the use of harsh chemicals—resulting in a truly one-of-a-kind piece and a reflection of conscious craftsmanship.
