African Jewelry

Jewelry has a long history in Africa, and plays an important role in African life. Africans have always loved jewelry, especially beads, so much to the extent that colorful African beaded jewelry was even traded for gold, palm oil, ivory and slaves at one time. Predominantly made in Venice and now known as African trade beads, these beads can still be found in the Gold coast (now known as Ghana) and have become highly prized pieces.

Our gorgeous, one-of-a-kind African jewelry designs are crafted in bone, wood, glass, metal and stone beads. You can be sure that all of our African beaded jewelry is intricately made with lovely designs that can be worn in everyday life or to special occasions – it can dress up any outfit, or stay casual with a t-shirt and jeans. Our designs range from earth tones to beautiful amethyst hues to coral and jade or modern black and white designs – we have the perfect necklace or earrings to complement any ensemble.

All of our African jewelry is carefully handmade by the talented contemporary artists in our African network that reaches across many parts of Africa, including the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, Lesotho, Ghana, Zimbabwe, Nigeria and Zambia.

African jewelry is up and coming in all the latest fashion trends while still maintaining a classic look that will ensure you can wear it for years. We are confident you will love our jewelry pieces as much as we do. If at any time you have any questions about the offerings on this page, please do not hesitate to contact us.
