01 / 07— The Name
Jua
ˈdʒu.a · noun · Swahili
In Swahili, Jua means the sun — not only the light, but the source of warmth, life, and the rhythm of every day on the savannah. A Maasai proverb holds that the rising sun carries the promise of a new beginning. This belt draws on that spirit: the full Maasai palette set around a single radiant medallion, worn where the sun finds it.
