Description

Traditionally dyed disks of bone elevate these dynamic earrings to an international work of art, serving to connect you to the lives of women artisans a world away. An exotic addition to your jewelry collection, they represent a rich tradition of Kenyan crafts.

Handcrafted by a group of artisans in the semi-arid region of Kenya s eastern province — where the sparse rainfall creates conditions of abject poverty. Dedicated to bringing positive change to their lives, the women from the community provide a primary source of income with jewelry created in group workshops, or woven textiles created in an artisan s home. In both homes and workshops, an emphasis is placed on fair principles and good working conditions.

• Dyed bone sourced from water buffalo (passed away from natural causes)
• French hooks
• 1 diameter (2.5 cm)
• Handmade in & fairly traded from Kenya
