A warm antiqued 14K gold plating makes this unique locket even more special. The front has a vignette, and the back is completely smooth and engravable if you wish. The locket measures 1 1/2" diameter.It is hanging on three 26" color co-ordinated necklaces made of zulugrass in a delicious khaki green, safari blend.
Philip and Katy Leakey, who live among the Maasai in the Kenyan bush, wanted to help their neighbors and to provide work opportunities without changing their culture. They came up with an imaginative idea that would utilize the excellent beading abilities of the Maasai women, and it used grass, an available sustainable resource, as the primary element.
Soon the women were harvesting grass, one blade at a time. The long grass was dried and cut into bead-size pieces and dyed lovely hues - blues, greens, reds, yellows, pinks, purples, earth and natural tones - which were then strung into necklaces and bracelets. The Leakeys added brilliant Czech glass beads to their designs, mixing them with the soft luster of the grass beads and giving sparkle and a contemporary flair to the jewelry. Zulugrass was born.
We feel our warm brassy toned locket enhances the qualities of the natural colors of these green zulugrass strands.
