Self taught Ghanaian jeweler

My name is Rita Akweley. I am a Ghanaian native with a passion for offering cultural jewelry sets created by hand using authentic Ghanian beads.

I was raised in a culture of various colors, textures, and designs. It is no surprise that I insist on using only the finest quality of authentic Ghanian beads and materials.

I relocated to the states in (enter year) with my wonderful husband and I couldn’t be happier in my new setting, though I do miss my home country. Creating Ghanian jewelry allows me to continuously embrace the cherished traditions of my native environment.

It is my hope that you’ll find the beauty that I see in each of my jewelry designs as they are truly created with love. To see more, you can visit my website at

I look forward to creating something beautiful for you!

Sincerely yours,
Rita
