What a beautiful adornment for my beautiful locs. I cant say enough about the amazing custimer service, the attention to detail and the commitment to quality. I had an issue with my cuff locking and i asked for a replacement, just for the attachment part, the lock. They sent me a whole new cuff! I wasn’t expecting that at all!! Thank you Zigleys for everything and for creating these truly special pieces that I’ll be able to have forever.
This means so much to us. Thank you for trusting Zigleys to adorn your locs, that’s an honor we don’t take lightly.
We’re really glad we could make that right for you. Every piece is made to be worn, loved, and kept for a lifetime, so making sure yours is perfect matters to us.
Thank you for your kind words and for being part of the Zigleys family. 💛
I have always adorned my locs with cowrie shells and these gold trimmed shells are perfect... and I especially like how they attach to my locs -I feel they will be very secure and stay on through washing, swimming, sleeping, and just plain living AND most importantly, will not get caught up in other locs.
Thank you so much for this. Cowrie shells in locs is a lineage we take seriously, and it means everything to know these feel like a natural extension of that tradition for you.
One gentle note specific to this piece: We recommend removing them before swimming or washing when possible. Prolonged moisture can weaken the bond between the shell and the gold band. Our other pieces in the collection do not have this limitation. A little extra care here will keep them just as beautiful as the day you received them.
We are so glad they feel secure and tangle-free. That was very intentional in the design. Enjoy your crown jewels
The quality of the jewelry is very satisfaction. I get so many compliments on it.
The compliments are well earned. Thank you for wearing Zigleys with pride.
Thank goodness the algorithm found me. I was thoroughly impressed by the beautiful thank you card. It felt as if the message was directed to me. The craftsmanship of the hair jewelry perpetuates African culture, style and tradition. Thank you for continuing the diaspora’s legacy.
Thank you for receiving the brand the way it was intended. We are honored to be part of your collection.
Great quality!
