Soul Purpose

The Amanne Collection, an elegant line of charms, bracelets, earrings and necklaces, captures the culture, beauty, and history of Africa. The line features Adinkra symbols
derived from 19th century King Kofi Adinkra, who wore elaborate clothing printed with graphic symbols and geometric motifs. These elegant symbols represent different states of being, bring forth the language and culture of royalty, and reflect the ideals of destiny, faith, community, and the power of love. The Amanne Collection also features Coptic cross designs from Ethiopia. Maureen Tokeson-Martin, a Cameroon native, founded the line to bring the beauty of her homeland to the United States. The Amanne Collection is part of Amanne Inc., a boutique firm that highlights lifestyle through its media properties, including DivaGalsDaily.com and RocktheLook.com. The Amanne Collection is their first accessories line.
