American artiste, Janet Jackson, in her new music video ‘Made For Now’ wears a neck piece designed by Ghana’s accessory brand house, Aphia Sakyi.

The Aphia Sakyi piece she wears is part of the brands Summer Harmattan Collection titled ’50 Shades of Print’ and the necklace in particular is called ‘The Yaa Asantewaa’ necklace.
