And it all started with this pair of earrings back in 2010:

Triballery™ presents an afro centric yet modern twist on the use of African Fabric – Jewellery.
Pronounced "Try-ball-ree", our brand, whose name derives from merging the words ‘Tribal’ and ‘Jewellery’, incorporates ntuma/ankara African fabric into our range of designs.
Offering stock and one off designs, our bespoke service allows you to choose or
provide your own material, select your own design and have the piece produced uniquely for you, meaning no two pieces are the same.
We describe our distinctive range as “Ntuma modernised”. Ntuma, translated as ‘The cloth’ in Twi, the language of the Ashanti tribe of Ghana, reflects our main inspiration - Africa.
The range was originally inspired by Kente covered beads on the founder’s trip to Ghana.
The Kente, which is the traditional hand woven colourful cloth of Ghana, now features in many of our designs.
Other incorporated fabrics and materials used by us include: Local Kente, Woodin, Hollandais, Dutch Wax, gold wire, filigree pieces, beads and more.
We aim to match the fun, colour and drive of Ghana (being the first African country to gain independence) through its designs, to ensure the same vivacity is reflected on the wearer.
We're constantly developing our designs, a new range of which will feature here first soon!
