blog 2 jewelry



African Jewelry.

Handcrafted jewelry is known for its beauty and quality.
Beyond their use for self adornment these pieces also have cultural significance.
            For example- Jewelry may indicate an individuals wealth, power and their standing in the society.

Africa is the birth place for mankind and human civilization so of course it would we the birth place of jewelry itself.

Tribes would be the ones that produce such beautiful traditional bead work unique to their region and tribe.

As for the necklace itself, it could range from any size around the neck.
the colors make it very decorative and functional with knowing who is who and who has the higher chair in the community.

I have learned that in some sort of way it matters how BIG YOUR CHAIN is around your neck.
and so on, in other wears and sorts.

Materials ranges from many different metals, as Gold,sliver,copper,gems and many colored beads ..... to be honest i really like their jewelry and wouldn't mind one myself.
