Beaded jewellery such as this Blue Maasai multistrand beaded necklace traditionally indicate age and social status in the Maasai culture and are handmade by Maasai women with glass seed beads. Sometimes, specific necklaces are created to commemorate important life events like engagements and marriage.

Each bead that is used by the Maasai has meaning behind it. In this necklace, blue symbolizes sustenance, energy, and the bright blue sky which provides water for the people and their cattle.

Note: This design of necklace is available in various colour choices. Due to the handmade nature of each piece, no two are exactly alike.

Final product may not be as shown…these are individually handcrafted and selection of beads, designs, etc. will have the same high-quality artisanship but may not be exactly as depicted in the photographs.
