Ethnic Chic Jewelry

Vendor Biography

Contemporary jewelry designs showcasing handcrafted African beads. Handmade traditional recycled glass beads from Ghana and artisan ceramic beads handmade by women in Kenya are the beautifully blended with gemstones, pearls and other striking components.

Handmade by a white woman in Sarasota, FL who loves African culture! Years ago I discovered Kazuri (small and beautiful) beads – a Fair Trade company in Nairobi that employs about 350 women – mostly single mothers – who get fair wages, child care and healthcare. I want to share the beauty of these beads and help support their creators. This lead me to discover other handmade African beads and further my xxx of the culture.

I dream of going to Kenya to visit the Kazuri workplace in Kenya, as well as other beautiful African countries.
