Necklace
environmentally friendly jewellery
Jewels of the Kalahari necklace
“This necklace is on my own personal Christmas wish-list. Why? It’s one of the beautiful pieces from a collection which came about as a collaboration between jewellery marketeer Anna Haber, and the Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert. This necklace is made from ostrich eggshells, a natural resource to the Bushmen: no part of the egg or shell goes to waste. One egg feeds a whole family, then the ostrich shell is used as a container to carry water before eventually the broken shards are incorporated into unique pieces of jewellery.”
£75 – £600, by Jewels of the Kalahari, from Darkroom
