5 out of 5 starsWow....Stunning and understated sexiness! Beautiful and classic piece to own. Definitely worth more than 5 stars!! It’s a long one strand necklace with no clasp, so you have the flexibility to adjust the length an look. The chain may get tangled easily, so it’s best to store properly. It shipped in 4 days and arrived 3 weeks early, amazing!
Very pleased. -

4 out of 5 starsThis is very pretty, I bought it for a friend, she's a larger woman the chains with the charms on it were not as comfortable for her.

OMI WOODS
Omi Woods jewelry are contemporary heirlooms that celebrate our connections to Africa and her diaspora. Our jewelry is individually and ethically handmade with fair-trade African gold and globally sourced conflict-free fine metals. Omi Woods jewelry is intended to be worn everyday, gifted for special occasions and passed down to future generations so its meaning can live on for generations to come.
We believe in paying people fairly for their resources, time and labour. Our solid gold jewelry is now made with fair-trade African gold. The gold is sourced from small-scale artisanal mines that support the well-being of miners and their communities by paying miners a fair wage and contributing to improved health care, education, safety and living conditions on the continent.
Omi means 'water' in the Yoruba language. Together with Woods it pays tribute to founder Ashley Alexis McFarlane's Jamaican-Ashanti-Maroon heritage; the word Jamaica derives from the indigenous Taino word 'Xaymaca', meaning 'land of wood and water'.
People have passed jewelry down through generations since time immemorial as a means to secure heritage, values, cultural beliefs, wealth, memories, and freedom.
When founder Ashley Alexis McFarlane’s Grandmother Doreen Salmon transitioned into the realm of the ancestors she passed down the few pieces of jewelry she had to her, her mother, and her aunties.
"My Grandmother is the reason I started making jewelry and why Omi Woods is centred around heirloom heritage pieces. Her name means shalom in Hebrew and sälam in Ethiopian-Semitic languages. It translates to peace primarily, but also harmony, wholeness, completeness, prosperity, welfare, and tranquility. I reflect on these things as I learn about the cultures and histories Omi Woods pieces are inspired by." - McFarlane
As a way to honour her legacy, Omi Woods donates a portion of sales to a local or global non-profit, social organization, charity or cause each year.

Additional policies and FAQs
Store your Omi Woods jewelry in a cool and dry place. Gold Vermeil and Sterling Silver pieces can be kept in the pouch or jewelry case they arrive in for short periods of time, like when travelling.
Silver and Gold Vermeil like to be in open air so we recommend placing these pieces in a jewelry dish or case with ample air circulation. Solid Gold can be stored in the jewelry case indefinitely.
Polish Sterling Silver and Solid Gold pieces with a jewelry polishing cloth. Gold Vermeil designs should not be polished but dipped in a silver cleaning solution. Reduce their exposure to sweat, moisture, oils, perfumes and abrasion to maintain the plated layer of gold.
Items with pearls and gemstones should be cleaned professionally by a jeweller.
