Item Description

This 18" beaded necklace is handmade in Kenya.  The Kazuri company only hires single mothers and pays them a liveable wage with benefits, which is not so common in Africa.  The women form the beads from river clay, fire, glaze and string them into necklaces, earrings and bracelets. The designs are whimsical, stylish and sure to become a favorite accessory for you or someone special. Buying this piece helps these mothers to support their families and send their children to school.
