About Me

Well, there is a lot of answers of this question. First, Athumani is the name of my grandfather from Tanzania who I have never seen. I have choose that name for my brand name because it reminds me for my roots and my African family that I have never seen.

Apart of it ATHUMANY started as a project in my best friend workshop where I have spent hundreds of hours . There were my first steps in jewellery. There I have learned which tone of red the silver has  a second before it melts down and you see the piece that you have work on the last three days turn into lava.  A lot of years have passed since then. I became a jeweller and I was doing regular jewellery until one day I went in London. There, on a street market in Camden town I was talking with an old lady who was selling silver jewellery made by her husband. She intimated to me that a lot of people ask her for cock rings but her hubby furiously refuses to have anything in common with these ‘dirty’ things. So here it is, the idea to make cock rings came to me from an old granny! In that moment I had no idea what a cock ring is and how it is supposed to be used. I needed to read a lot and see many ‘educational’ videos before I decided to try to make one.
