Idia & Oba Necklace

The Idia & Oba Necklace brings together two models inspired by the royal figures of the Kingdom of Benin, located in present-day Nigeria.

Available in gold and silver, their sculpted pendants highlight the faces, adornments, and presence associated with the Edo royal court.

Queen Idia was the mother and advisor of Oba Esigie in the 16th century.

Her political influence and support in defending the kingdom earned her the title of the first Iyoba, a title reserved for the Queen Mother.

The Oba, on the other hand, designates the sovereign of the Kingdom of Benin and embodies authority, the continuity of the dynasty, and royal power.

The Idia model celebrates female strength, wisdom, and influence, while the Oba model asserts a sovereign and majestic allure.

Two jewelry pieces full of character that transform the royal heritage of Benin into an elegant accessory for everyday wear.
