Please note

Every necklace is beaded by hand, so the spiral varies slightly from the one photographed. Screen colours vary too. The maker lists the beads as pearls; ask before buying if you need to know what they are made of. The first photograph shows the necklace itself; the second and third are styled shots, and the model, satin, leaves and stone in them are not included.

Cultural context & artisan story

Fahari is Swahili for pride. On the Kenyan flag black stands for the people, red for the blood shed in the struggle for independence, green for the land, and the white edging for peace and honesty. Beaded by hand in Kenya by Nekesa, a Bukusu artisan working under the name Mulembe, the Lubukusu word for peace and the everyday greeting.

Product description

Overview

A handmade rope necklace of red, green, black and white pearl beads twisted in a spiral, in the colours of the Kenyan flag, finished with a silver tone lobster clasp. Made for Jamhuri Day, Madaraka Day, a Kenyan wedding or anyone who wants to wear home. Fahari is the Swahili word for pride. Bands of red, green and black pearl beads wind around the rope, each edged with small white beads the way the flag edges its colours in white, so it reads as Kenya at a glance without spelling it out. It sits close and full at the base of the neck. The first photograph shows the necklace itself, with the clasp at the top. If you prefer one colour with white, the same twist is made in pink, green, and black. Care: keep it dry and away from perfume, and store it laid flat or loosely coiled so the spiral keeps its shape.
