Mukaji Pendant
She raised her fist not in defiance — but in remembrance.
The Mukaji Pendant is a sculptural tribute to the Congolese woman — strong, still, and sacred. “Mukaji,” meaning “woman” in Tshiluba, honours the matriarchs who led without noise, who built empires in silence, and whose legacy lives through you.
Mukaji—meaning “woman” in Tshiluba—is a tribute to the quiet power and unwavering grace of Congolese women across generations. This sculptural pendant, meticulously crafted in 2.5 microns of gold vermeil over 925 sterling silver, embodies strength, resilience, and timeless elegance.
A bold fist, finely contoured yet softened by minimalist curves, symbolizes both resistance and rebirth. Whether worn as a personal emblem of empowerment or curated as part of a heritage-inspired collection, the Mukaji Pendant stands as a testament to freedom and feminine fortitude.
