Dette er håndlavet af Leah Selei og hendes gruppe. Hun fører tilsyn med 27 kvinder fra sin perle vævningscirkel i Ngong'. De skaber de fleste af vores dråbeformede accessories. De er mødre og bedstemødre. Overskuddet fra salget deles mellem kvinderne for at hjælpe med at dække basale behov for deres familier.
The craftsmanship is truly something special—you can feel the care in every bead, knowing these were made by a circle of mothers and grandmothers. They’ve got a nice weight to them that feels substantial without pulling on my ears, and the teardrop shape catches the light beautifully.
I was a little worried the beads might feel cheap, but the teardrop shape has a lovely weight and the colors are more vibrant in person. It's clear a lot of care went into the stringing. I've worn them twice already and they haven't snagged on anything.
The teardrop shape is really elegant, and you can tell the beading is done carefully by hand. I just wish the earrings were a touch lighter, since they have some weight to them after a few hours of wear.
