Ubumba is the Zulu word for clay.
A collection of lightweight polymer clay earrings handcrafted in Bray, Co. Wicklow. Combining vibrant colours with unique patterns and textures, Ubumba creates little works of art for your lobes.
A core value of Ubumba is “ubumbana”; unity through acceptance. To embrace our differences, each adornment is one-of-a-kind and comes in a range of patterns, shapes and sizes.
Taking inspiration from her childhood in Africa, the creator Maryam Paruk has fused together elements from her own heritage in a celebration of diversity.
A fusion of colour and culture.
Are the earrings sustainably made?
Yes. All earrings are sustainably slow made using a zero-waste policy; all leftover scraps are re-worked to make unique marbled creations.
What type of materials are your earrings made from?
All earrings are made using polymer clay which is oven baked. All earrings are handmade and may have slight imperfections. They aren't always 100% symmetrical; just like your eyebrows they are sisters not twins.
Jump rings and earring backs for studs are made from silver or gold stainless steel.
Earring hooks are made from quality copper material and the backs are made from hypoallergenic silicone.
I occasionally add embellishments such as brass pendants or gold foil.
Earrings are coated with acrylic glaze.
