This beautifully made strand of beads can be worn long at 72cm, or wrapped 2 or 3 times to create a multi strand necklace. It is versatile and be worn over a variety of necklines. It is easy to wear and slips over your head - there is no fiddly closure. It can also be wrapped around your wrist or ankle.

A lot of time was taken to create this necklace. Each tiny metal divider which sits between every second bead is called giriami in Kenya, and is hand made. The Giriami is recycled copper wire, galvanised for a silver finish, hand cut, shaped and filed to create tint delicate dividers.
The beads used in this necklace include, gemstone chips, dried seeds, Masaai beads, glass beads, resin beads, recycled paper beads, recycled copper beads, West African hand made beads and wooden beads.

It is a gorgeous array of colour, texture and vibrancy!
