 I received!
the single strands of Zulugrass to review in various colors.  The beauty of these single strands are that you can wear them anyway you want for the day.  As a bracelet, necklace, anklet, or a hair tie.  Zulugrass strands are made from natural grasses, dyed with low-impact, colorfast dyes interspersed with 24k gold overlay glass beads.

I'll tell you, when I heard this jewelry wasn't just beautiful but sustaining a village in Africa, I fell even more in love.  The Leakey Collection utilizes fair trade practices to provide sustainable income allowing underprivileged communities to quickly attain ownership of land create their own businesses and gain a better overall quality of life.  They employ over 1200 Keyans adapting the business to fit the Maasai people NOT the other way around.  Over 10,000 people are supported through the work of the Leakey Collection.

This would be a beautiful gift not only for the giftee but to know that you are helping to keep the Maasai people working and feeling good about providing for their family.

I had my bracelets on for about half a day around the house....  my teenage niece comes over,  she takes them over. LOL At first she asked if she could "borrow" them... I'm never getting them back.  Her friends loved them and she ended up sharing a couple with one...  Yup, she "shared" my bracelets.  But, you know what, I love that she sees true beauty.  Not big bling and flashy, but earthy and art.
