Earthy Bracelet
About this design:
African Kazuri Beads, handmade in Kenya, in shades of brown, give an earthy feel to this bracelet. I love the fact that proceeds from these Kazuri beads help support the disadvantaged women who create them.
Components:
African Kazuri Beads, 10 mm and 8mm Corrugated brass beads, Czech Glass Ammonite bead, Brass dragonfly charm, brass toggle clasp.Additional Images:
