Beaded Necklace (N-411)

This beaded necklace is part of the Day Range, which I bring in from South Africa.

The Jewellery

My range of jewellery has styles inspired by the beauty and magic of Africa. While the styles are 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 is made from ceramics, glass, wood, shell, metal and even recycled paper. I have tried to keep the prices at a reasonable level to enable wider appeal.

Background

I started to import jewellery from Africa about 10 years ago, after I had spent two years living in South Africa.

While in South Africa I became aware of the importance of beadwork to the local cultures and of the amazing work that communities were doing. Therefore, I first brought back some jewellery to find out the reaction of people here. Subsequently, I formed my own company and now import a number of different ranges. However, I am Australian, as is the Company.

This beaded necklace is only one example. There are many others, including bracelets and earrings.

Fair Trade

Where possible, I prefer to buy from suppliers who are members of the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO).

Customer Comments

Some of the comments I have received 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.”

frican Wildlife

In addition, I give a percentage of my net profit 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.
