Gye Nyame: "except for God" is a symbol of the supremacy of God. This unique and beautiful symbol is ever-present in Ghana. A reflection on the deeply religious character of the Ghanaian people. It is the symbol of the OMNIPOTENCE and the OMNIPRESENCE OF GOD From the Akan aphorism: "Abode santann yi firi tete; obi nte ase a onim ne ahyease, na obi ntena ase nkosi ne awie, GYE NYAME." Literal translation: This great panorama of creation dates back to time immemorial; no one lives who saw its beginning and no one will live to see its end, EXCEPT GOD. Akan: SUPREME BEING, the CREATOR who they refer to by various names: OBOADEE, NYAME, ONYANKOPON TWEREAMPON.

This set of jewelry is a great way to celebrate the beautiful symbol in both the earrings and elegant curves of the main pendant - comes with an 18 inch chain.
