This bold necklace features authentic batik bone beads, handcrafted in Kenya using a traditional wax-resist dyeing method. Each bead is individually dyed and polished, creating natural variations that highlight the artisan’s work.
The beads are strung on natural sisal cord and worn as-is for a rustic, graphic look — or can be disassembled for jewellery making, beading, or craft projects. Ideal for those interested in African beads, sustainable materials, and handmade jewellery components.
