The secret meaning of Akkena ®

To all of you who wonder what is the real meaning of my brand " Akkena" , I'm going to confide the secret of its origins: Akkena is a Fang word, an ethnic group from central Africa, well-known for his art of statuary and his pure and serene white masks, which strongly marked artists as Picasso and Matisse. It is also the ethnic group of my husband. Akkena means "wedding ring", and in a wider sense "link", "blend", "combination". This word epitomizes the spirit which drives me when I create my jewels, combining contemporary design and traditional techniques, mixing influences from North and South, balancing warm and cold, matt and shine... strengh and harmony!
