Artisan’s Perspective
Handcrafted in Nairobi, Kenya by Tiger Tail Twister, the Mukelewe Shoulder Chain is a bold exploration of body adornment beyond traditional jewelry. Rooted in African craftsmanship, this piece blends metalwork with bead artistry to create something expressive and unconventional.
The use of brass with a gold finish brings warmth and durability, while the blue glass beads introduce color, rhythm, and visual flow. The draped structure across the shoulders transforms the body into part of the design, turning movement into a statement.
Each chain is carefully, ensuring balance, comfort, and fluidity in how it sits and moves. It’s more than an accessory, it’s a styling piece that speaks to confidence, creativity, and individuality.
The Style Guide
For a high impact look, pin it over a sleek, monochromatic jumpsuit or a structured, floor length white gown.
It also adds an unexpected editorial edge when worn over a sharp shouldered blazer. To let the blue beads and gold tone brass drapes take center stage, keep other jewelry minimal, and style your hair in a sleek, pulled back aesthetic to highlight the architectural lines across your shoulders.
Care and Safety
Clean by immersing in warm soapy water with a small amount of citric acid for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then rinse and buff dry
Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and chemicals. Apply all perfumes, hairsprays, and body oils before donning the chain
Handle with care to maintain bead placement and structure, and remove before sleeping or intense activity to prevent damage
Storage: Store on a hanger to prevent tangling
