Description
This beaded cuff is part of the Day Range, and one I bring in from South Africa.
There is a wide range of jewellery with styles inspired by the beauty and magic of Africa.
While not ethnic, the basis of the collection marries African traditions with contemporary fashion. The styles range from elegant to funky.
The jewellery uses almost every conceivable colour, bead type and shape. It includes ceramics, glass, wood, shell, metal and even recycled paper. I have tried to keep the prices at a reasonable level to enable wider appeal.
I started to import things from Africa about 10 years after I spent two years living in South African.
While in South Africa I became aware of the importance of beadwork to the local cultures and of the amazing work that was being done. I first brought back some jewellery to find out the reaction of people here. Following that I formed my own company and now import a number of different ranges .However, I am Australian, as is the Company.
Where possible I prefer to buy from suppliers who are members of the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO).
This piece is only one example. There are many others, including , necklace other bracelets as well as earrings.
In addition, a percentage of my net profit goes to support African wildlife projects. At present these include The Cape Leopard Trust, Chimfunshi Chimp Orphanage in Zambia and The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust- Elephant and Rhino fostering projects.
Some of the comments I have received but from clients are :
“My parcel arrived today and is absolutely beautiful. J”
“Thank you for the timely and prompt manner in which my order was processed.”
“Looking forward to doing business with you again.”
I hope you enjoy the range as much as I have enjoyed putting it together.
