Recycled glass disk beads in black and white from Ghana come standard; we add marbleized clay beads in your color preference as well as chunky silver beads for a customized, bespoke necklace.
We make this set in our Happy Palette: pink, yellow, lime green, turquoise and orange. It is finished with some bling: a large rhinestone ball and a rondelle crystal bead in the center of each necklace.
Please specify necklace length: 16” choker or 18.” We use silver-plated lobster clasp findings.
We make our bracelets in 6.5” or 7” or 7.5” lengths. Pls specify with your order.
Earrings are hand-sculpted and hand-pressed, each one unique. We use silver-plated fish-hook findings.
Every bead is hand-sculpted and hand-rolled. Each bead is bespoke. Your jewelry set will be truly unique.
When we first conceived the idea to start a line of accessories to help move our bakery projects in Rwanda forward, we knew that the main priority was to give steady work to the many women in rural communities who lack opportunity for meaningful, dignified work otherwise. Believing that a simple, handmade bracelet could be one way to get this mission started and connect the sisterhood, I embarked, as chief creative, to design the most labor-intensive – yet relatively simple -– bracelet imaginable. Stringing beads onto filament is easy; it takes just a few minutes to string a stretchy bracelet. I knew that stringing manufactured beads onto the filament would not give these women the labor hours that they needed. They needed labor-intensive work. They needed to make the actual beads. I came up with the idea of using colored artist clay; the palette is varied and aligns beautifully with our colorful fabricated bags, which we had already begun producing on site.
In addition to hand-sculpting each bead, they are then hand-rolled into the most perfect spheres possible. We purchased a special oven for bead baking and built out a work room. It is light filled, with large windows allowing for fresh air. The artisans work cheerfully. Her fingerprints in the clay connect maker with receiver. We believe that our handmade bracelets help raise the collective consciousness about women everywhere.
We want you to be extremely happy with your purchase from flourFLOWER. If for any reason you are not, kindly return the item for a full refund. (NOTE: We cannot refund shipping & handling charges.) If you would like us to re-string a bracelet for you in a slightly smaller or slightly larger size, please send us back the original and we will try to make it perfect for you. Kindly remember that we are “small batch,” so once we run out of a specific fabric, or machine-made bead, we likely cannot purchase it again. But we will do our very best to make you a happy customer. No questions asked. 100% guarantee. That’s how we roll.
