Kazuri Bead Necklace


Kazuri, the Swahili word for 'small and beautiful' produces a wide range of hand made, hand painted ceramic jewelry that shines with a kaleidoscope of African colors and Kenyan art that reflects a culture and appeal to a worldwide fashion market. Kazuri's beautifully finished products are made to an international standard and are sold worldwide.  I have purchased the beads I used in this necklace from Antelope Beads in Boulder, CO.
The beaded chain is my variation of Cindy Holsclaw's pattern "Diamond O" free on Cindy's site Bead Origami. My variation uses the new "O" beads, #11 Seed Beads (two colors) and #8 Seed Beads.
