Wowww!!! This is an absolutely elegant, silver ring of the beautiful profile of an African queen wearing her elaborate, natural hair “crown” in the regal style of the Mangbetu people of the Democratic Republic of Congo in Central Africa. Her beautifully intricate and protective hairstyle denoted majesty and an aristocratic social status among the Mangbetu ruling classes. The braided strands are intricately weaved and interwoven into a cylindrical-designed coiffure that extends into an outward halo that in pop culture, has been emulated by Nina Simone, and most recently by Beyoncé in her track, “Sorry” from her visual album, “Lemonade.”

This gorgeous piece of Africana wearable art has a natural and undisturbed patina and is a bold and very attractive conversation starter as it displays from your finger. This ring shows very little signs of wear and aging considering its age and is an intentional and poignant reminder of Africa’s rich history, creativity and magnificence. Lest we forget!
