π AFFIRMATION
βI am never lost. I am always guided back to myself, my lineage, and my HOME.β
π PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Adorned with the Sankofa symbol, The Door of Return is more than a pendant β it is a portal of remembrance. This intricate iron door design carries a message that has crossed oceans and generations: no matter how far life takes you, you can always return home.
Crafted with 18K double-plated gold on an 18β pendant necklace, this heirloom piece measures 2.5 cm in length, allowing it to rest powerfully yet elegantly at the collarbone.
Whether worn daily or for ceremonial moments, The Door of Return sits on the chest as a vow of belonging β to your ancestors, to your story, and to yourself.
π HISTORY
The Sankofa symbol, meaning βreturn and get it,β has long been a compass of cultural remembrance. During enslavement, African blacksmiths and master artisans β despite attempts to erase identity β preserved Sankofa in the ironwork of gates, doors, balconies, and railings across the Caribbean and the United States.
It was more than art.
It was a coded lifeline, a reminder to hold on to memory, to lineage, and to spirit.
Where history labeled these ports as βPoints of No Return,β this piece rewrites the narrative.
The Door of Return welcomes us back β to our beginnings, to our brilliance, to each other.
