Fine Silver and Ebony Elhadji Koumama African Tuareg Ring

This is a Tuareg silver ring by Elhadji Koumama. It’s an extremely detailed piece handcrafted with deep ebony heartwood and shining brilliant silver. The silver inlay is perfectly polished to a mirror finish and expertly set in ebony wood. This is extremely difficult to do, yet is done expertly with traditional tools and methods. The result is a beautiful adornment for your hands and a rare masterpiece for your collection.

The Koumamas are a Tuareg (Tamashek) family based in Agadez, the silver capital of the region. The people of this tribe and region are artists known for their fantastic silversmithing and detailed artisanal methods stretching back hundreds of years. Tuareg silver and ebony rings, bracelets, bangles, earrings, and necklaces are the sign of sophistication every collection has been waiting for. The Tuareg are indigenous to the Sahara and Sahel region of Africa and live in Niger, Nigeria, Mali, Burkina Faso, Libya, and Algeria. Their design influence on silversmithing has stretched beyond Spain and the new world.

Anyway, this is an amazing piece of Tuareg jewelry. It is a statement ring of rich ebony and polished silver. It works as a single ring and can also be worn accented with other silver rings.
