Afrika Jewelry Collection

There is no place as rich in heritage and diverse in culture as the continent of Africa. The people of Africa have long been known for their unique styles of adornment and particularly the amazing variety of their bead-making traditions. From the batik bone beads and ostrich eggshell discs of beautiful Kenya to Ghanaian lost wax bronze, Ethiopian amber and Nigerian recycled glass, this continent offers an unsurpassed range of beads. Whether handmade from natural materials of bone, shell, and clay, or cast from molten bronze, gold and silver, all of the beads are earthy and soulful. My Afrika Collection reflects this rich diversity with pieces indicative of specific cultures and religions as well as pieces simply having African soul. In Swahili, Afrika is the proper spelling and pronunciation for their country’s name.
