Discover the beauty of ethical luxury with this carefully crafted ostrich eggshell bead bracelet. Handmade by skilled artisans in Namibia, it features an array of sustainably sourced ostrich eggshell beads intricately arranged on a beaded base. This accessory blends style with conscious fashion, making a refined statement while supporting ethical practices.
The Ju/’hoan and !Kung San women of Namibia continue a centuries-old tradition, passed down through generations, to create these beads. Their ancestors, who were hunter-gatherers, first crafted ostrich eggshell beads as personal adornments and tokens of trade.
With over 50,000 years of history, ostrich eggshell beads represent one of the earliest forms of bead-making. The San community remains the last to keep this art alive, preserving not only their cultural heritage but also a vital part of our collective human story.
While these beads were once sourced from wild nests, today's ostrich eggshells are ethically collected from farms. The eggshells are gathered after the chicks have hatched, sterilized, and transformed into these eco-conscious jewellery pieces.
As each bracelet is worn, it develops a unique patina, reflecting its journey alongside its wearer, adding a personal touch to every piece.
