Maninha means “little sister” but its meaning goes far beyond a name.
Inspired by the beautiful bond of sisterhood, the Maninha Necklace is a delicate everyday piece created to symbolize love, connection, protection, and positive energy.
At the center is the signature Conta Di Ojo bead, a traditional Cabo Verdean protection bead often associated with guarding against the evil eye and negative energy. Suspended from a delicate gold-plated chain, the glossy black bead creates an elegant contrast that feels both modern and deeply connected to heritage.
Simple enough to wear every day yet meaningful enough to become a personal keepsake, Maninha can be worn alone for a minimalist look or layered with your favorite necklaces.
Gift it to your little sister, big sister, best friend, daughter—or the woman who has become a sister in your life.
A little piece of Cabo Verde. A symbol of sisterhood. A reminder to carry good energy wherever you go.
