Description: This elegant handmade beaded neck-lace has three possible adjustments and therefore fits all! This is a wonderful contemporary equivalent of the traditional lace accessories worn in Victorian times. The little colourful beads have a sparkling effect within the black... this beautiful necklace is lovely when worn. You can combine it just as easy with a simple plane t-shirt for a more casual look - as with a pretty strapless dress to impress. These are Zulu choker necklaces mainly worn during weddings. This statement necklace gained its inspiration from the local Maasai women In Kenya, although beaded jewellery is prevalent in Africa often finding similarities in jewellery with other African countries such as Tanzania, South Africa etc. It is handmade using local shanga-shanga beads. The beads are strung in a pattern then slowly and tightly wrapped around and stitched to a thick woven cord that gives the necklace a consistent shape and form. Even the closure – a beaded ball and loop – abides by the Masai tradition. The confident wearer of this uniquely stunning statement necklace will surely receive many compliments. Collection Story Most traditional Masaai beadwork conveys notions of coming of age, courtship and marriage. It’s a feminine craft that expresses both explicit and intuitive meaning, like the best poetry art or music. Indeed, like a language, the beadwork is encoded using a limited number of colours and geometric patterns, and, except for white which always symbolizes spiritual love and purity, each colour possesses sharply contrasting connotations, one positive, the other negative.The necklaces here all have only the best and happiest of meanings, and although I offer a small story to enliven the beads, you’re welcome to intuit your own. ** Please note that the colours of the necklace may not be reproduced exactly the same on your screen. These photos are colour-corrected and edited to match as closely to the actual necklace but that will not make up for colour differences due to monitor color output.
