Fourteen (14) strands of beads -- multi color plastic and metal beads. The longest (lowest hanging) strand from end to end measures approximately 28inches. The shortest (highest hanging, nearest the neck) is approximately 24 inches. The necklace will fit differently depending on the person (see photo of woman wearing a similar necklace).

Item is hand crafted by a Samburu woman artisan as part of a collective effort by women in the region to be independent. Approx 58% of sales go directly to the artisan, and 42% to a scholarship program to support youth from their community. Investing in women and investing in education; that's what will make big differences on this planet!
