To the women of the Ndebele (pronounced in-da-bey-lee) tribe beadwork is not only an art form; it is an essential part of their cultural. Beadwork is used to mark important events in family life, from the birth of a child, to initiation into adulthood, to marriage, to burial. Passed from one generation of women to the next, the skill required to create traditional beaded adornment is quite difficult to imagine.
For the month of February we offer you the chance to connect with the generations of women of the Ndebele tribe in South Africa. Just this month, all Ndebele bracelets and necklaces are offered at a 30% discount. So, between now and February 29th, shop for your favorite piece and then try to image just how many beads it took make that piece of art.
