And I didnt even have to remove my shoes! The exquisite artistry strung in wooden beads speaks volumes of a vibrant culture.

I love this necklace. I spent a month in Rwanda and Uganda with a 2015 CNN Hero of the Year nominee I am helping to write his autobiography. Being a male, we never got close to jewelry.
