Nandi Necklace

Add this as an unforgettable signature when you walk through the door.

The colour is a soft sophisticated salmon & each bead is hand made from recycled glass using centuries-old Ghanaian techniques.

The beads carry a story of resilience and creativity, transformed from broken fragments into vibrant treasures.

Intensely feminine, fresh, bright and alive - it's Nandi, which means sweet in Zulu.

Nandi  means sweet in Zulu, and is famously associated with the Queen mother to King Shaka Zulu.

She embodies strength, dignity, resilience and maternal devotion. 

In Hindu tradition, Nandi refers to the sacred bull and vehicle of Lord Shiva, symbolizing purity, devotion, and happiness, and also can mean "happy" or "joyful" in Sanskrit.

The white bull symbolizes purity, justice, and prosperity.

About this range:

The African tribal beads used in this collection are hand painted, & made from crushing recycled glass into fine powder where they are refashioned by melting the glass in traditional kilns. 

Different bead colours and designs carry specific meanings, such as fertility, protection, and social status, and are exchanged in ceremonies as a sign of goodwill and blessings.

Wear with the clasp to the back or front - use the carabiner to link up other chains for a layered look.
