I love jewelry, just like most women. I also love the kind of jewelry that you can wear whether you are in jeans or a dress. Handmade jewelry is my favorite kind because of the time, dedication and the inspiration that the creator puts into the piece. I also am a big supporter of charitable works. So I am excited to be able to tell you about a fantastic site and organization that incorporates my favorite things.. jewelry and charitable works.
It’s called Zulugrass, from The Leakey Collection, founded in 2002 by Katy and Philip Leakey. Their work includes the design and manufacture of contemporary jewelry that is hand made by the Maasai women and men of Kenya from environmentally sustainable materials. The flagship item of the collection- Zulugrass- is sold individually or in Multistrand, which allows you to get precisely the color, depth and weight of the jewelry that you want. It has an organic look and feel but is completely modern.
Zulugrass is light weight, durable and most importantly incorporates high design with versatility. You no longer have to carry a bunch of bracelets, necklaces, hair ties etc. because Zulugrass allows you to get several looks from a few lightweight strands. Further, depending on the color and amount of strands used- the look can be as subdued or as colorful you want- just a couple twists or some added strands an you have literally dozens of styles.
I received the most gorgeous orange strands to review for you. I love orange and this is the perfect summer color. It looks fabulous with my tan and my summer clothing. The ease of using these beads is a huge plus. I got 2 strands and I simply wrap them around my arm several times and I have a bracelet. If I want to use them in my hair, I can wrap them around my pony tail and decorate my hair. They can also be necklaces or anklets too. You can get the longer lengths and use them as belts or whatever your imagination can come up with. These are great! I just love wearing them!
The selection is not just limited to these beaded items. The Leakey Collection has beautiful jewelry made with Zuluwood, Porcelain, fashion accessories and many more items. Come by the site and take a look at what they offer.
