Large Cowrie & Mask Brass Keychains

We couldn’t keep these keychains in the store this summer.  We immediately reordered from our artisans in Ghana. They are so beautifully crafted many clients told us they were putting them on bags as charms.  The size and weight and craftsmanship is exceptional. You will not find another keychain that exclaims “wow, this is beautiful.” With the beautiful adornment of African cowrie and traditional masks, with Handpainted glass beads. This is a special gift for anyone in your life. 

Celebrate the spirit of heritage and identity with the Tribal Threads Ghanaian keychain — a handcrafted piece inspired by the rich cultural traditions of Ghana. Adorned with symbolic brass charms, colorful recycled glass beads, and traditional African patterns, this keychain is more than a decorative accessory; it's a meaningful reminder of ancestry, wisdom, and strength.

Each charm carries a story. From the revered Adinkra symbols like Sankofa (return and get it) and Gye Nyame (except for God), to the cowrie shells symbolizing prosperity and femininity, and the brass tribal masks that honor ancestral spirits — this keychain weaves together symbols of protection, legacy, and empowerment.

Hand-assembled using Ghanaian krobo beads made from recycled glass, the vibrant colors and textures reflect the resilience and artistry of Ghana’s people. Whether used as a key holder, bag charm, or keepsake, Sankofa Keys is a tribute to cultural pride and timeless African craftsmanship.
