Arabian Peninsula Heritage
The Fulani (or Fula), an ethnic group from Sahara and West Africa, are best known for their rich cultural heritage and traditions. According to legend, the Fulani originated from the Arabian Peninsula, but their nomadic lifestyle led them to settle across vast territories from Senegal to Sudan. Traditionally engaged in cattle herding and trade, the Fulani used jewelry not only as adornments but also as a symbol of status. As a nomadic people, they stored their wealth in the form of gold jewelry, which they could always carry with them. This starfruit-shaped earring design is the most popular. Its size serves not only an aesthetic function but also indicates the wearer’s hierarchical status and wealth, continuing the ancient Fulani tradition of expressing their culture and heritage through jewelry.
