Swarovski Tribal Earrings – Inspired by Africa

Hello From Africa

The canvas upon which this continent’s epic story is written is not only beautiful but astonishing. Whether heading out at dawn on a safari game drive following millions of wildebeest on their Great Migration or soaring high in a hot-air balloon to embrace the Serengeti, Africa creates the wildlife encounter of a lifetime. Wherever you find yourself on this big, beautiful continent, you will be touched by the wildlands, rich traditions, artisan craftmanship and natural beauty –all of which these pieces pay tribute too.
