Click of the week

This weeks click of the week is jewelry by Nicole Khristine.  I picked it because of their Tribal collection; which uses a few Adinkra symbols and donates 15% of the profits from the collection to Village Volunteers, a non-profit group with three orphanages in Kpando in the Volta region, Ghana.
