SAN BUSHMAN COLLECTION


SB-06: Bartata Wooden Bracelet

Material: Balsa wood, ostrich eggshell

Sport this wider sytle bracelet for both men and woman.

Each piece of jewelry is one-of-a-kind. Purchasing Namibian craft jewelry not only provides sustainable income and an alternative livelihood for the people of Namib-ia, but also supports the continuation of traditional craft-making practices.

The San Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert in Namibia apply their traditional skills to create jewelry, often with natural resources and materials available to them. Largely isolated from colonialism until the last century, San Bushmen women create intricate pieces of jewelry using wild seeds, pieces of tree roots, horns, bone, leather, tortoiseshell and most importantly, beads created from ostrich eggshell.
