Out of Africa [part 1]│Erstwilder

With an almighty roar, the new collection from Erstwilder is here! Out of Africa is the hotly anticipated and long-awaited range featuring a host of African wildlife, all crafted by Erstwilder’s in-house designer Sally Land. You asked, they delivered – this elephant-sized (see what I did there?) lot covers brooches, necklaces, and earrings, with so much amazing fauna (and flora!) from the deserts, savannahs, and tropical jungles of Africa. And in case you needed another excuse to buy, for all of August they’ll be donating $2 from each piece sold to the African Wildlife Foundation. That’s enough to cause a stampede! Check out the first half of the collection after the jump.
