Long Necklace The African Collection Day Range

Long Necklace

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

The Day Range collection comes from South Africa and is forever expanding.

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 including ceramics, glass, wood, shell, metal and even recycled paper

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).

Necklace N 426 is only one example. There are many others, including bracelets and 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, and the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) Elephant Orphanage Project in Zambia.
