Description

This 22" beaded necklace is handmade in Kenya. The design is reminiscent of the "evil eye" good luck charm that scares away bad spirits. The Kazuri Company hires only single mothers and pays them a livable wage with benefits, which is not so common in Africa.  The women form the beads from river clay, paint, fire, glaze and string the beads 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 support their families and send their children to school.
