Wimbi: Recycled Brass Wave Jewellery, Handmade in Kenya

Recycled Brass Jewellery · Handmade in Kenya

In Swahili, wimbi means wave, and you can feel it in every curve of this collection. The flowing silhouette echoes the slow, rhythmic movement of water, and each piece is handmade in Kenya from brass that started life as discarded taps.

Warm gold-tone and sculptural shapes are one of the biggest jewellery looks right now. Wimbi gives you that look without newly mined metal.

"Every piece is a second life: brass reborn as beauty."

One wave, four pieces

The wave motif runs through the whole collection. The statement choker curves at the collar like a golden horizon. The bangle wraps the wrist in an S-shaped swell. The earrings hang a clean geometric circle, and the adjustable ring finishes the set with a quiet flourish.

Worn together, they make a bold, matching statement. Worn alone, each piece holds its own, moving from everyday minimal to evening drama.

Made by Kenyan artisans

The Wimbi collection is handcrafted by skilled Kenyan artisans using techniques passed down through generations. Each piece is shaped and polished by hand to a warm gold finish.

We make it in small batches on purpose. It protects quality and keeps the maker's hand visible, so no two pieces are exactly alike. Those small variations aren't flaws; they're proof a person made it.

Upcycled brass, no newly mined metal

Every piece is made from upcycled brass tapware, so no new metal is extracted. Brass is endlessly reusable, and giving old taps a second life as jewellery is one of the most beautiful ways to use it. See our full recycled brass jewellery range.

How to style Wimbi

• The choker alone: with a V-neck or simple crew, it's a complete look on its own.
• The full stack: choker, bangle, earrings and ring together for an editorial look. The shared wave shape means they never compete.
• With autumn neutrals: warm brass glows against cream, camel, rust, olive and slate grey.
• Minimal dressing: a linen tee, a blazer or a slip dress. Wimbi lifts a pared-back outfit without overwhelming it.
• Day to evening: stack the bangle with a watch for work, then let the earrings take over at night.

A gift with a story

Wimbi comes in our luxury jewellery gift box, ready to give. Its gold tone also makes it a thoughtful choice for a golden anniversary, and the ring and earrings make lovely gifts for her.

Quick answers

Is recycled brass jewellery good quality?

Yes. Brass is a strong, durable metal, and recycling it doesn't weaken it. Each Wimbi piece is hand-finished in small batches.

Will brass tarnish?

Brass naturally darkens over time. Many people love the vintage patina; to restore the shine, polish gently with a soft cloth and a little lemon juice or brass polish, then dry well.

Can brass mark my skin?

On some skin, brass can leave a faint green mark, which washes off. A thin layer of clear nail varnish on the inside of the bangle or ring helps.

Is the ring adjustable?

Yes, the Wimbi ring gently adjusts to fit.
