Description
Beads are some of Africa’s oldest artefacts, in present day, African artisans continue to create beautiful beadwork unique to their tribe, region, and status or to portray a message.
Traditionally, beadwork was produced by women to act as a token of adoration from a woman to her man. These traditional creations, with meaningful colours, were letters of love. Modern beadwork produced on a commercial basis still is traditionally beaded by women, acting as an adornment for women and me alike.
Legacy Collection Beaded pieces have been created with the traditional history in mind, where each beaded piece tells a story.
Created to honour the beauty, strength and resilience of women, the beaded earring range has symbolically been named after female royal titles: Queen, Princess and Duchess.
Our royal beading range encourages all women who wear these pieces as queens and princesses in their own rights. To embrace their feminism and enjoy telling their story by wearing these unique, sometimes bold but intricately beaded pieces.
