Please note

Handmade, so the two earrings differ slightly from each other and from the photographs. Colours may look a little different on your screen. The photographs are styled, so the background props are not included.

Cultural context & artisan story

Zuri is Swahili for beautiful, one of the first words most people meet in the language. The beads are the small glass seed beads sold across Kenya as Maasai beads, which is the trade name for the material rather than a claim about the maker, who is Bukusu, one of the Luhya peoples of western Kenya. The knot is her own design.

Product description

Overview

Handmade beaded earrings worked as an interwoven triangular knot in black and gold seed beads, on gold tone hooks. The knot is the point of them. Three loops pass over and under each other so the bands appear to weave through, which gives the piece real depth at a size that stays small and light. It is a harder thing to bead than a flat panel, and it shows. Zuri means beautiful in Swahili. At 2.5cm square these are the everyday pair in the range rather than a statement, the ones that go on without thought and still look considered. The maker gives the size as 2.5 by 2.5cm. Every bead is threaded by hand, so the two knots sit slightly differently and neither will match the photographs exactly. Keep them away from perfume, and store them flat.
