Every bead is placed by hand

Collars and bracelets are built row by row, so the pattern grows as the piece is made.

Ask at the stall what the colours in your piece stand for.
From the stall

Threaded bead by bead

Every collar, bracelet and bangle is threaded by hand. The colours and patterns are chosen by the women who make them, so no two pieces are quite the same.
