Miga Earrings – Gold-Plated Cabo Verde Believe Earrings

Miga means “friend” or “girlfriend” in Cape Verdean Creole (Kriolu) a warm and familiar name for a woman with whom you share friendship, closeness, and connection.

The Miga Earrings from the Cabo Verde Believe Collection by Alzerina Jewelry celebrate those special bonds the women who stand beside us, encourage us, believe in us, and remind us of where we come from.

In Cape Verdean Kriolu, Miga is an affectionate and familiar way of referring to a female friend or girlfriend.

For this design, Miga represents friendship, sisterhood, connection, and the strength women give to one another.

Handcrafted with elegant gold-plated details and our signature Conta di Ojo beads, Miga brings together contemporary style and the spirit of Cabo Verdean heritage.

For us, the Conta di Ojo is a symbol of strength, power, protection, and believing a gift passed down from our ancestors. Traditionally connected to protection from the evil eye and negative energy, these distinctive black beads with soft white markings carry generations of meaning.

They remind us to believe in ourselves, carry the strength of those who came before us, and proudly keep our heritage alive.

Miga is more than an earring it is friendship, heritage, protection, and belief worn close to you.
