As soon as this piece arrived my wife put it on and we both loved it. Simple yet bright, original yet not showy.Thank you so much to Ila for making such a special necklace!

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. I fell in love with Rwanda and the traditional tribal dresses and skirts. I also craved jewelry. I have my beautiful necklace on right now. Its beautiful. I love everything about Africa and always have. Now that Ive been in two of the countries, my necklace means even more.
