Accented Glory has launched a new earring design! Our Cowrie Tassel Hoop Earrings are all that and then some. What makes this design unique is that it can be customized to match fabric of our African Print Headband designs. This beautiful design is the sassy cousin of our Cowrie Shell Tassel Earrings that were featured on Essence!


They are light weight, so no worries of stretching your earlobes. The hoops are lead and nickel free and measures 1.2 inches in width. They’re also available in both gold and silver color. No look is complete without great accessories!


They can be worn with either a causal or dressy look. The African print center and cowrie shell tassel gives it an Afrocentric vibe that exemplifies Accented Glory’s brand energy! Our bundle pairings are great gift sets for some self love or to bestow upon someone else. Click on bundle photo below to be directed to our Etsy Shop and make your purchase!

Accented Glory’s Cowrie Tassel Earrings are featured on Essence! We’re a part of a guide that lists Etsy jewelry finds created by Black Women Designers. Our Cowrie Tassel Earrings is a new design handcrafted by our visionary Tonya Cross, who was ecstatic about being featured. It was a honor to have our design featured in a national publication that celebrates Black Women!

Tassels are currently all the rave in fashion and she decided to add an Afrocentric vibe with the cowrie shell. She loves working with cowrie shells, many of Accented Glory’s designs includes this beautiful seashell. Cowrie shells have African roots and portrays a message of respect, honor, and inspiration.

Many of Accented Glory’s local (in-person) customers have requested to customize the design. They’re requesting different colors; the most popular color has been black. One customer purchased two pairs back to back, because she ended up giving her original pair to her niece that kept asking for them! We’re forecasting that the design is going to be very popular this summer. Click Etsy to purchase your pair today. No look is complete without great accessories!

YouTube Tutorials: Are They Really Helpful?

As the natural hair community has grown, there has also been an increase of YouTube videos, channels, and sense of community in the YouTube world. And I am all here for it. I've watched tutorials for everything from learning new wrap styles to enhancing hair styles I already have down pat. I'm definitely an advocate for learning new things, but a recent experience had a naturalista doubting if YouTube tutorials can truly help you to master different styles.

The faux goddess locs are the hot new trend that many ladies are rocking and I wanted to be summertime fine. I headed straight to YouTube to look for all the videos I could find on how to do individual crochet locs. After my 3rd video I was like hell yeah, I got this style down pat. After too many trials and errors and two trips to the beauty supply store I soon learned a lesson that I feel a lot of women have had to come to terms with...hairstylist go to school for a reason! While I may be my own personal hairstylist; I am no professional.

I say all this to say that YouTube tutorials can be very helpful, but we also have to assess our own skills. If you know you can't braid, then chile don't be mad when your crochet style looks a mess after a few days. Don't fall victim to a case of what I wanted versus what I got, because you overestimated your skills girl. Always apply the Golden rule when attempting new styles with YouTube tutorials... practice makes perfect!
