Inspired by the Nigerian Arewa symbol's iconic beauty, its powerful timely message of unity, and a desire to use it as a vehicle for change, NYINI Luxury and Amina, founder of Mina Stones collaborated to create the Arewa Medallion Collection, a fashion jewelry capsule priced from $55 and sold on TheCurrnt.com jewelry website, just in time for the holiday season.
