Description

This necklace/purse set incorporates the intricacies of handmade, African accessories. 


The purse, complete with a handmade beaded addition, is the perfect size for all of your essential items. It is a perfect mixture of style and functionality.


The use of ostrich egg shells as jewelry beads dates back to the Old Stone Age, roughly 2.5 million years ago, making it one of the oldest man-made beads. Today, the shells are still frequently used for jewelry and decoration throughout Africa. The handmade nature of this tradition makes each bead, and therefore each piece of jewelry, unique. This particular necklace originates from the Bushmen tribe of Southern Africa.


Don't miss your chance to own these truly one of a kind accessories! 


Necklace length measures 20".
