GO TRIBAL WITH YOUR JEWELRY STYLE!

Masai and other tribal bead looks are  hot jewelry trends right now. Solid red beads or multi-colored strands are quick ways to punctuate a black dress.

Small, colorful trade beads always brighten-up my day.  Masai  (or Maasi) African tribal bead designs are my favorite because they are so colorful. South African tribal beadwork is extraordinarily intricate, especially the woven necklaces and bracelets.

 

 

BUYING AFRICAN BEAD DESIGNS


Masai Colorful Tribal Bead Designs

If you will be shopping for ethnic-looking bead jewelry, try to acquire authentic and inexpensive African beadwork made in Kenya or South Africa.  This ethnic jewelry is readily available online or at arts and crafts fairs.
The jewelry is handcrafted  by indigenous women who make a living to support their families.
 Why buy poor copies of tribal jewelry  cheaply manufactured 1,000s of miles away from Africa?

  1. I love beads, I love jewelery made from them, clothes or home decoration.
