Item Description
Silver stretch bracelet adorned with beads made from clay of the Mt, Kenya area of Africa.
Lady Susan Wood started Kazuri in 1975 with the social mission of providing work for a few women. Initially, less than 10 women were employed making beads in her garden shed. As word of the beauty and uniqueness of the Kazuri beads, necklaces and earrings spread, sales increased, as did the facility, and as a result, 350 people are now employed. Many more wait in the hope of having an opportunity to join the ranks of those talented people who make small and beautiful objects. Now under new ownership, Kazuri has been able to expand while retaining its philanthropic roots. The workshop is still located on a portion of the farm once owned by Karen Von Blixen, of Out of Africa fame, at the base of the Ngong Hills outside Nairobi.
