KÉKÉRÉ earrings by Adé
The KÉKÉRÉ model is the smallest earring in the Adé collection ("Kékéré" means "Small" in the Yoroba language)! Thanks to their small size, they can be worn summer or winter without moderation. True to the spirit of Adé, the Kékéré are not lacking in character, with their sympathetic asymmetry!
Size: 19,5 mm x 25,4 mm - Weight: 3 g.
Glueless attachment of the back rods. The head of the post is directly wrapped in polymer clay, which fixes it firmly to the earring. Titanium back posts, nickel free.

about Adé
Inspired by her African roots, visual arts and ceramics , Andréa explores shapes, colors, and materials to achieve an original object. To celebrate the " women who have been affected by a lack of positive representation in their youth and remind them that they are visible, magnificent and strong."
"Adé", which is the diminutive of Adétola, his third first name of Beninese origin, means "crown" in Yoruba (a language in West Africa).
about our fabrics
For the past 12 years, we've been experimenting and refining our processes to work with the best natural fibers available. We select our materials for their durability, comfort, aesthetic properties, and the conditions in which they were produced. We prioritize suppliers located near our workshop. Many of our jerseys and knits are made in Canada, while some woven fabrics come from the United States. For more specialized materials, we work with Japan and certain European countries (mainly Italy and northern countries). It is essential for us to ensure that workers' conditions are fair, and the best way to be sure is to choose countries that have a charter of individual rights that resembles ours!

made to order
If the color or size you are looking for is no longer available, do not hesitate to write to us. We have a fabric inventory at the workshop that allows us to manufacture any of our models, whether it is this one or a piece from a past collection. Simply write to us at info@atelier-b.ca with the model you are looking for so we can suggest fabrics and colors! Orders sewn at the workshop are at the regular price (if the model is on sale, the discount does not apply to a piece sewn to order). Production time can vary from 4 to 6 weeks. Items from past collections sewn to order have a 10% surcharge. We can also make alterations to the pattern, in which case there will be an additional charge depending on the situation which can vary from 10 to 20%.
