Wear a story that spans generations. This multistrand Maasai bead necklace is handcrafted by women of the Maasai tribe in rural Kenya — an age-old art form passed from mother to daughter, bead by bead, color by color.
No two are exactly alike. Each piece is a truly unique work of art, strung by hand from small glass beads laid out on trays and threaded with intention and pride.
Product Details:
- Approximately 22" long
- Handcrafted by Maasai women artisans in rural Kenya
- Fair trade certified
- No two pieces are identical
The Language of Color:
In Maasai culture, every bead color carries deep symbolic meaning:
- Red — bravery, unity, and blood
- White — peace, purity, and health
- Blue — energy and the sky; rain that feeds the cattle
- Orange & Yellow — hospitality; visitors are welcomed with milk from orange gourds
- Green — health and the land
- Black — the people and the struggles they endure
Maasai beadwork embodies the whole of their culture — beauty, strength, tradition, warriorhood, and a deep love for their community. When you wear this necklace, you carry all of that with you.
When you choose KyngSia Designs, you wear a story worth telling.
