Shukrani Necklace

This necklace features the following unique materials:

• Coconut shell discs, handcrafted and dyed using natural coconut shell. Coconuts are an important fruit in many parts of Africa. Not only are they admired for their nutritious value, but also for the byproducts of the fruit itself. No piece is left to waste as the masterful artisans clean, dry, and cut beads out of raw coconut shell. Coconut beads are often appreciated for their light weight and natural look.
  
• Handcarved Kenyan bone beads are handcrafted by artisans using recycled cow bone. Each bead is individually carved and polished, and is truly one of a kind.
• Handcarved bone beads from the mountainous regions of Java, Indonesia.
• Glass beads from Java, Indonesia that are modeled after traditional French cross trade beads. French cross beads were originally produced in Venice and traded throughout Africa.
