Kura Necklace - Limited Edition

Coming across something with history and repurposing it to have relevance in the modern age is the story behind the Kura necklace ("kura" researched as translating into the word "new" in Bambara, a dialect in Mali) which features ancient glass beads from Africa, dating back at least 500 to thousands of years old. These Djenne beads with their textured surfaces and the lightest touch of pink coloring hold a story which makes one wonder  what lives previously held them and what journey did these beads go through - buried, hidden and later unearthed for a second life?

Let this piece serve as a reminder to honor our pasts, our vast array of cultures and appreciating what time has passed down to us through the ages.
