Jewels of Africa: The Ethical Elegance of Ankole Horn Jewelry

Looking to offer your customers jewelry that tells a story, feels timeless, and reflects ethical sourcing? Ankole horn jewelry from East Africa is where natural elegance meets conscious design.

Crafted by hand in Uganda, Ankole horn jewelry is made from the ethically sourced horns of the indigenous Ankole-Watusi cattle — known for their grandeur and deep cultural significance. These naturally shed or reclaimed horns are transformed by artisans into wearable pieces of art, celebrated for their bold shapes and distinctive marbled patterns.

At Meekono, we offer ethically sourced Ankole horn jewelry wholesale, curated for designers, boutiques, and conscious concept stores looking for accessories that make a statement in both style and sustainability. Our collection includes hoop earrings, sculptural rings, sleek cuffs, and statement pendants — all handcrafted and unique. We make ordering easy with flexible options by color tone, size, and design so you can build an assortment that suits your store.

The story behind each piece. We partnered with an artisan jewelry brand in Uganda that are committed to sustainable sourcing and traditional handcrafting techniques. The horn is carefully shaped, smoothed, and polished to highlight its natural tones — from soft creams to rich ambers and jet blacks. Every piece supports local artisans, champions zero-waste design, and adds meaning to modern style.

If your customers value craftsmanship, sustainability, and culture, Ankole horn jewelry is a beautiful way to reflect those values. Offer them accessories with character — made slowly, worn proudly.
