Jambo the Gentle Giant Drop Earrings – JTGGE/01

These Jambo drop earrings are crafted from 925 sterling silver and coated with rhodium for a longer-lasting shine. The 3D Jambo measures 10.8 x 12mm. The total length, including the hook, measures 28.8mm.

Our Jambo design pays tribute to a special primate who became famous worldwide in 1986 for protecting a five-year-old child, Levan Merritt, who fell 12 feet into the gorilla enclosure at Jersey Zoo. Much to onlookers’ amazement, instead of attacking the child, the male silverback inspected him. It remained beside his unconscious body in a protective gesture that kept the other gorillas at bay.

This 3D Jambo is brought to life in this unique collection, which includes silver necklaces, bracelets, earrings, charms, and a keyring, with each piece featuring an engraving of the gorilla’s name on his arm or leg. The connection between human and gorilla lives on through this collection.
