Candy Colored Jewels: Nehita Fine Jewelry

July 2010


The Nehita fine jewelry collection, for the woman who loves elegance with a touch of attitude. Inspired by the scenes of her West African upbringing, designer MonaLisa Okojie’s draws from traditions of her strong Ishan heritage where coral beads are used in decorating the bride and her mother on her wedding day.

The traditional Nigerian bride wears imported Indian fabric, a decorative coral-beaded headpiece, necklaces and coral-beaded ankle bracelets.

Working passionately with children’s local charities, Los Angeles based, MonaLisa donates a portion of Nehita’s profits to the International Center of Education and Youth Development.
