Elizabeth Alorchie-Apetor selects warm earth tones for the design of this stunning necklace. She crafts the necklace by hand with sese wood beads in different shapes, alternating patterned spheres with discs. A larger sese wood pendant centers the necklace with carved patterns that suggest a bird's beak. Amber-hued recycled beads border the brass clasp.

"Africa! No TSA Pat down!"
And I didnt even have to remove my shoes! The exquisite artistry strung in wooden beads speaks volumes of a vibrant culture. One can vicariously imagine the pulse of,say, a market on the outskirts of Accra where I might haggle good-naturedly over the price of her creation with Elizabeth Alorchie-Apetor! Africa travels well. kudos to the artisans of NOVICA!Thank You Elizabeth!John.

"Beautiful Work"
I purchased this as a gift. As always, the workmanship is beautiful. The beads are a little big bigger around than I expected, so its kind of over-sized-looking.

Gorgeous in design, colors, and materials. The recycled glass in the varying colors is perfect for these beads. They sparkle and swing, and are just lovely! Wear with anything! Very happy with them.
