The JENDAYI COLLECTION.....The Most Extraordinary Cultural Jewely!!!!!!!

Brothers and Sisters, I was shocked and amazed to walk into the Crenshaw Mall with the intent of finding me a "silver Ankh/Nkwa" pendant and chain. I saw a brother rockin a silver scarab beetle and a Ankh on his chain and was so impressed that I decided to cop me a lil somethin. He recommended that I visit a few shops in Lermert Park, which turned out to be dissapointing. I could not find a single West African or Ancient Nubian/Kushite/Kamitic selection anywhere. I stopped in "Heroik"s and spoke with a Brother who does locks and he called a Sister named "Alicia" who makes Jewerly, she suggested that I go see her "Mentor" at the Crenshaw Mall. As I approached "Jendayi" on the first level of the Mall, I was immediately blown away to see the most beautiful West Afrikan Chess board in the window. It sold for $3500.00. and was worth it. The collection in this store was so amazing, I ended up being in there for two hours looking at the "gold, silver, diamond, african chocolate stones delicately placed and shaped in the form of: Gye Anyame and other Adinkra symbols, Pyramids, Lotus Plants, Ankhs/Nkwa, Scarab beetles and more.......There is no collection like it in the City.

I must add that the Owner  was one of the wisest, informed, humble, genius, Brothers that I met in a long time.....What Did I purchase??????? well when he is done making it, I will show it to you.....
