Working with recycled materials, Ghanaian artisan Akwele Suma makes a statement for ecological preservation. She chooses strips of poster and magazine paper in a multicoloured array, forming them into a link chain for this necklace. She names the necklace Nkonson, meaning "chain" in Akan.

The artist uses the paper at hand so paper colours will vary, making each design a unique example of handcrafted art. These beads receive a protective coat of clear nail polish.
