Kazuri Jewelry

Unique painted and glazed ceramic jewelry. The gift of jewelry that keeps on giving.

Kazuri was started in 1975 as a cottage industry with the social mission of making work for the women from the Masaai tribes in Kenya. Situated on what was once a part of Karen von Blixen's coffee plantation (famous from the movie - Out of Africa), there is now a small workshop where ceramic jewelry and beads are made by over 100 Kenyan women.

Each bead has to be shaped carefully, polished, fired, painted and fired again. The result is KAZURI, the Swahili word for "small and beautiful". Beautiful and unique necklaces, earrings and bracelets.

The vast collection is priced $25-$74.
