Using traditional beadwork techniques with a modern twist in design and colours ,these earrings are made by rural women in the Valley of 1000 Hills area in Kwazulu Natal, South Africa. Being able to make and sell these beautiful earrings through Usizo Africa certainly provides HOPE & financial support for these ladies who are able to provide for themselves and their families using their crafting skills .
iThemba hoops are available on gold or silver tone fittings in an explosion of beautiful colour combo's.
