Product Description

Kazuri's handmade hand-painted ceramic jewellery is made in Nairobi Kenya. Every bead which goes to make up a necklace or bracelet is shaped by hand by one of the 200 local women employed by Kazuri. The beads are then kiln fired once glazed and fired again before being strung.Kazuri which means small and beautiful in Swahili is Fair Trade. The late Lady Susan Wood founded Kazuri in 1975. Observing that many women in the villages around Nairobi were struggling single mothers she and two Kikuyu women organised a ceramic workshop to teach them jewellery making skills.Today Kazuri has grown considerably whilst retaining its philanthropic roots. The workshop is still located on part of the farm once owned by Karen Blixen of 'Out of Africa' fame at the base of the Ngong Hills outside Nairobi. This fairtrade Kazuri Necklace comes in an attractive gift box
