Idia Colourful Multi-Beaded Swarovski Crystal and Gemstone Embellished Fringe Headpiece with Detachable Pendants

IdIntroducing Idia, a jaw-dropping, multifunctional piece of wearable art that radiates power, dominance, and royal splendor. Inspired by the legendary Queen Mother Idia of Benin—one of Africa’s most iconic female leaders—this design pays tribute to her mystical powers, her leadership, and the strength she brought to the Benin kingdom alongside her son, King Esigie.

Idia is more than just a statement piece—it’s an authentic collector’s item for anyone who appreciates art, world cultures, and high-octane accessories. This one-of-a-kind piece boasts layers of opulent details, including clusters of rare glass beads and dazzling Swarovski crystals. It features a rich array of gemstones such as agate, amazonite, amethyst, yellow opal, and lapis lazuli, all handpicked from my travels. These stones don’t just add beauty—they’re steeped in symbolism, offering protection and meaning to the wearer.

The headpiece is adorned with luxurious charms like mother-of-pearl, gold-tone brass leaf pendants, face pendants, charm bells, and antique silver Berber amulets from Northern Morocco. Refashioned textiles from India, shells, and stones gathered from the Red Sea in Egypt are interwoven into its dramatic, tiered design. The stunning pendants cascade over a glistening green velvet headband, embellished with Swarovski crystals and white turquoise, exuding feminine glamour with a touch of regal boldness.

Fasten it to your preferred fit with the gold-tone brass chains and lobster clasp, and wear it as either a headpiece or neckpiece—it’s an adaptable work of art! When not in use, this magnificent piece can be framed as wall art, destined to become a cherished heirloom.

No matter how you wear it, this show-stopping piece is sure to elevate any look and command attention wherever you go.
