Satta Matturi, between Great Britain and Africa the jewels that unite two cultures ♦ ︎
She is British and from Sierra Leone, where she was born. And she is one of the few African jewelry designers. Satta Matturi launched her first collection only in 2016, but has a long experience of 16 years as a key account manager at De Beers. In the most important company in the diamond sector, Satta Matturi learned what there is to know about rough and polished diamonds, about cutting, about the relationship with design.
Her jewelry, therefore, sim are inspired by the purity of the gems and the traditions of West Africa: ceremonies, customs and culture of that region. The union between British and African habits has resulted in a rather refined jewelry, where a totem is transformed into 18 carat gold earrings, 1.61 carat rose-cut diamonds and rubellite cabochons.
It is almost taken for granted that Satta Matturi realizes her jewels with 18 carat gold and diamonds or gems of responsible origin. Like in the Artful Indulgence collection, composed of a varied range of earrings, reminiscent of traditional jewels, but with a modern African touch.
