*Hand Crafted Jewellery – Crafted by hand with love.*

Doing The Common Thing Uncommonly Well.

*Diang’a Rosebelle Ochino CEO & Founder DIRO Jellewery – A fashion accessories designer, performing artist, model and leader.*

Ginene, the brand run by Diro Jewellers was birthed from the artistic talent of the founder Diang’a Rosebelle. At a tender age, she used to tinker with artistic media to create art forms. Her natural love for art harmonised what her fingers created with what her eyes beheld in nature. Nature provided a canvas through which this young entrepreneur would stroke fashion accessories.

This is our style, nature translated into fashion. A journey that commenced as a hobby during childhood advanced into an income-generating enterprise. Today the brand has grown and draws from extensive experience, passion, talent and artistic mastery to influence fashion trends.

In collaboration with Anna Adero of Jaber Bridal House, Diang’a staged her inaugural Fashion event dubbed Awroussi in 2009. On two separate occasions, Ginene has participated in the Pan African Fashion event ‘Fashion for Peace’ better known as ’Festival for Fashion and Arts’ or FAFA in the 4th edition in 2012 and the 5th edition in 2014. Since then, under her brand, she has also participated in the Origin Africa Trade Fair in Kenya in 2018 and the subsequent Origin Africa Trade Fair held in Tanzania in 2019.
