Questions and Answers
Is ostrich eggshell fragile? Not at all. Ostrich eggshell is one of nature’s strongest natural materials — far more durable than it appears. Each pendant is individually hand-cut and assembled with care, and with normal everyday wear it will last for many years.
Will my piece look exactly like the one in the photograph? Because each piece is individually handmade from natural ostrich eggshell, there will be gentle variations in colour, texture and pattern from piece to piece. These subtle differences are not imperfections — they are what make every piece truly one of a kind.
Can I wear it every day? Many Mambu pieces are lightweight and comfortable enough for everyday wear, while some are designed as more striking statement pieces. It really depends on the style you choose and how you like to wear your jewellery. To help preserve the piece, we recommend removing it before swimming, bathing or exercising, and avoiding direct contact with perfume or hairspray.
Is it suitable as a gift? Yes. Each piece arrives ready to gift. Its timeless design and natural materials make it a thoughtful and distinctive gift for anyone who appreciates contemporary African jewellery and slow fashion.
How is it made? Each piece is individually hand-cut from natural ostrich eggshell and carefully crafted by hand in South Africa. All findings are stainless steel and our jewellery is lead and nickel free.
Where is it made? Every Mambu Design piece is handmade in South Africa.
Care
Your ostrich eggshell jewellery is surprisingly durable and requires very little maintenance.
Avoid spraying perfume or hairspray directly onto the piece. Keep it dry and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. Store in a dry place when not being worn. Wipe any suede cord gently with a soft, dry cloth if needed.
With simple care, your handcrafted ostrich eggshell jewellery will retain its natural beauty for many years to come.
