Wide Tri Wrap Bangle Set, $150
Mmk, the title's a bad play on "bee's knees." But seriously, there's nothing bad about Kora. This jewelry is SO PRETTY in an "I'm tough and super independent and Africa is the shit, don't mess with me but yes, I'm gorgeous, admire away" way. Which I could use a little bit of right now, so bring the bling on!
Maasai Necklace, $230
This line "merges the worlds of beautiful jewelry and sustainable business development in Africa with the belief that both can and will ultimately benefit." Every piece is handmade by an artisan in a developing African community using recycled materials: cow horn and bone, aluminum, brass, and glass. They even describe the entire background of the materials here. And if you want to learn about the main artisans, there's also a link for that!
100 percent of this necklace's proceeds go to the Uweza Aid Foundation, located in Kenya's Kibera slum. Learn more about the organization here.
Ceremonial Ring 1, $30
Kora means "work" in Kinyarwanda, Rwanda's native langauge. Just a fun little tidbit for your day, courtesy of a sexy tough jewelry line. Can't get much better than that.
