Nwamaka Coin Purse & Crystal Teddy Bear Set — Enamel Outfit Charm | GrinSquid

The dressed bear, with a purse to match.

Nwamaka pairs the Ijeoma round silicone coin purse with Ebele — the glass rhinestone teddy in a striped or plaid enamel outfit, and the most detailed charm GrinSquid makes. £34.99 for both, against £40.98 buying them apart.

Nwamaka is Igbo for the child is beautiful.

Nwamaka or Chiamaka?

Same idea, two tiers. Chiamaka is £29.99 and pairs the purse with a £20 charm — cherry, bee or bear. Nwamaka is £34.99 and pairs it with Ebele, the £25.99 dressed bear. If you want the piece with the enamel outfit and the most stone detail, this one.

What makes Ebele different?

Every other crystal charm is stones on a shape. Ebele wears an enamel outfit — striped or plaid — over full glass rhinestone coverage, which is why it costs £25.99 on its own rather than £20. It reads as a character rather than a sparkle.

Frequently asked

Is this cheaper than buying the two pieces separately?

Yes — £34.99 against £40.98. It's the largest saving on any GrinSquid two-piece set.

Is the bear striped or plaid?

Striped. Nwamaka comes with the striped enamel outfit across every colourway. If you want plaid, Ebele is sold separately in both.

Nwamaka pairs the Ijeoma round silicone coin purse with Ebele in her striped enamel outfit — the most detailed charm GrinSquid makes. £34.99 for both, against £40.98 buying them apart.

Are the stones glass or plastic?

Glass. Glass rhinestones refract light rather than scattering it, which is why they read sharper than acrylic — and why each has to be seated in metal rather than glued.

Is the bear heavy on a bag?

Seven grams — about the weight of a £1 coin. It won't drag on a thin strap.

What fits in the coin purse?

Coins, two or three cards, a lipstick and a key.

What does Nwamaka mean?

Igbo for the child is beautiful. Every GrinSquid piece carries an Igbo name.
