Essence Wigs Jewelry Collection

Essence Wigs Jewelry Is Here 😁



This collection has been in motion for some time.   Some of you have reached out over the last few years to inquire about jewelry pieces on our mannequins and have wanted to purchase them.  EW founder has loved jewelry since forever and started designing and creating pieces several years ago.  An Ndebele style cuff was the first piece of jewelry that was listed for sale in the shop and it was always a plan to put together a collection with unique, enticing and culturally focused pieces.  And so folks-- it's finally here: The Bohemian Elegance Collection! We’re excited to introduce a few pieces from our first jewelry collection.  






This collection is inspired by the ocean, beach and ancient African culture.  It includes pieces made with cowrie shells, pearls and rhinestones with a dash of elegance.  We definitely use the word bohemian quite a bit for some of our products so let's just explain what it means to be "bohemian." Bohemian embraces the unconventional. Bohemians are individuals who indulge in free expression, motion, thought and practices. They are free from conventional constraints and limits.  Though people are more accepting of Afrocentric beauty today compared to several years ago, certain afrocentric ideals, traditions and fashion can be considered to be bohemian in essence. Materials such as the cowrie shell were used to create a few pieces that have a connection to our ancient cultures. 







The cowrie shell is a primary material in the Bohemian Elegance collection-- as you know it is an accessory used in some of our loc and twist wigs.  There's so much history behind the cowrie shell and its connection to our ancient homeland. Cowrie shells were once used as currency in the continents of Africa and Asia and traded for goods in the same way the the euro or dollar is used today. The shell was highly valued.  They were frequently worn in ancient Africa as a fashionable way to adorn when attending weddings, celebrations and events. African royals would always be seen in looks featuring cowrie shells as they were seen as a status symbol.

The great thing about afro kinky and curly hair is that there's something about big voluminous textured hair that always looks amazing with accessories, especially large earrings. If you love large earrings, then you’ll love our Bohemian Elegance Jewelry collection. We're also providing the option of clip on backing for those who don't want excess weight on their piercing and those who have non-pierced ears.  Pieces from the Bohemian Elegance collection will pair perfectly with any of our wigs.

Does Ice Spice Wear a Wig?

Isis Gaston bka Ice Spice is the IT Girl of Generation Z.  Like a roaming colorful butterfly, she seemingly came out of thin air and blazed her way onto the rap girl scene.  She’s already formed collaborations with female rap heavy hitter, Nicki Minaj and pop sensation, Taylor Swift only three years in the game.  While briefly attending SUNY Purchase in New York, Ice Spice met and began creating music with her producer friend, Riot (Ephrem Lopez Jr.).  Riot encouraged and motivated her to pursue a rap career and she's since been successful. Ice Spice recently released her debut album, Y2K , on July 26th following the releases of her mixtapes in previous years.  The album contains 10 tracks and is 23 minutes long.  She's since embarked on her first world tour in July.  One thing about Ice Spice is that she knows how to get the crowds moving with her catchy drill and trap bops. Ice Spice has always sported a signature curly afro reminiscent of a ginger h...

FDA To Ban Relaxers Next Month As Cancer Link is Revealed

Almost 90% of black women have used a chemical relaxer at some point in their lives; many of whom began using it as children.  Usage of chemical relaxers has posed significant risks to the health of minority women. Women who use chemical relaxers are often unaware of the health conditions that they can introduce.  They have been clinically linked to reproductive disorders, infertility, cancer and other diseases.   A reporter for the New York Times, Linda Villarosa, spent a significant amount of time gathering facts about the health crisis surrounding chemical relaxers.  Through a lens similar to one idealized by black female epidemiologists, Villarosa discovered the well-researched link between the frequent usage of chemical relaxers and uterine cancer in black women.  These chemically-laced relaxers contain ingredients that act as endocrine disrupters which lead to early puberty and cancer in black women. Chemical relaxers have always been aggressively ma...
