Epica Jewellery
Epica Jewellery is a Kenyan brand at the crossroads of culture, craftsmanship, and bold self-expression. Founded by Sharon Wendo, the brand emerged after a transformative internship with the Kenya Youth Empowerment Project, where Sharon first mastered the art of beadwork
At its heart, Epica is about preserving and elevating indigenous bead styles—particularly those of the Maasai. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted using traditional Maasai patterns and glass beads to create modern wearable art that commands attention and celebrates identity. Their Mamai Cape, for instance, reinterprets the iconic Maasai shuka into a bold, elegant statement piece.
This is storytelling through adornment: Epica’s collections document and elevate layered cultural narratives, honouring Kenya’s rich diversity while preserving craft techniques for future generations. By working directly with Indigenous artisans, the brand ensures that each piece isn’t just beautiful—it’s meaningful, ethical, and empowering for both the maker and wearer
Epica Jewellery isn’t just an accessory—it’s a culture around your neck, heritage on your wrist, and confidence carried in every bead.
A proud partner of the British Council’s Creative DNA delegation - find them on the catwalk and in the Exhibition Hall at AFWL2025.
