Exquisitely crafted telephone wire discs are meticulously assembled to form a delicate and lightweight chain, secured with a small hook. This stunning piece of jewellery is designed and handcrafted in South Africa, using upcycled telephone wire, a South African speciality.

The project was initiated in 2004 with the noble objective of providing a sustainable source of income for underprivileged South Africans, enabling them to support their families and secure a better future for their children. Over the years, more than a hundred women have been associated with this initiative, earning enough to provide their children with quality education, build homes, and ensure adequate nutrition.

It is worth noting that in Zulu culture, the art of crafting is traditionally passed down from one generation to the next. This project not only provides a means of livelihood but also preserves and promotes the rich cultural heritage of the region.

To summarise, this project is a testament to the power of creativity and collaboration, empowering women and uplifting communities, while also promoting sustainability and preserving cultural traditions.
