Happiness – Earring

“Ulonwabo & Balancing Girl” Earrings” – A Celebration of Happiness in Balance

There is a quiet happiness that rises when we find balance in our lives — when we’re grounded in who we are, yet free to move with life’s rhythms. This is the spirit captured in Yvonne de Wit’s “Ulonwabo & Balancing Girl” earrings — an elegant pairing from her heartfelt “Down to Earth” collection.

Ulonwabo, meaning Happiness in Xhosa, dances through each piece, inspired by the rhythm, movement and happiness that flows through the people and landscapes of Africa. Handcrafted in sterling silver, each earring is gently filled with hand-collected soils and crushed stones — carefully chosen by Yvonne for their texture, colour, and connection to the land.

“Balancing Girl” reminds us of grace — of standing tall and steady, even as the world moves around us. She perches delicately on a sphere of Overberg earth, turning freely with soft, fluid motion. In earring form, she brings this balance — framing the face with gentle motion and quiet strength, with Happiness.

Together, “Ulonwabo and Balancing Girl” are a tribute to living with presence and poise. They’re not just earrings — they’re wearable symbols of resilience, of harmony, of finding happiness in life’s dance.

Let them move with you. Let them remind you: happiness lives in balance. And balance is beautiful.

Please Note: The colours of the crushed stones might differ from your screen. They are more vibrant and have depth in tones due to the natural materials as well as the pigment’s being used, which can be hard to see on screen.

Packaging: True to its name, the “Down to Earth” collection carries its values through every detail.
Each piece of jewellery is lovingly packaged by hand by Yvonne de Wit, using reclaimed corrugated cardboard, a material often overlooked, now uplifted with purpose and care. Wrapped simply in natural rope, every parcel becomes a reflection of the collection itself: humble, thoughtful, and deeply connected to the Earth.

No mass production. No wasteful extras. Just beauty wrapped in intention and tied with love — from Yvonne’s hands to yours.
