Named after a region in Northern Nigeria where a dear friend, wonderful poet & raconteur extrodinaire spent part of his early life - he proudly bore a tattoo with this knot motif peculiar to the Kano region. As a heartfelt homage to him, we have proudly added these earrings to our collection. Formed of a twin articulated panels, the larger 'Kano Knot' suspended from a smaller one, these are a wonderfully stylish, bold yet extremely wearable pair of 'day/night' eardrops. All our earrings have sterling silver earposts  Polished Brass, Palladium & Gold Electroplated  We plate all our items with Palladium, before plating with Gold. Gold 'bonds' with Palladium better it does with any other metal, thereby giving the plated added durability as well as a better 'finish'
