Even before the start of the project, the Maasai women made these decorative stars. During the project, additional designs have been worked out together. The stars can be used as Christmas or window ornaments or as door decorations. They are made of glass beads and recycled raw materials (hard plastic from old water canisters and corn sack threads).
Size: 10 - 15 cm
An internal light source makes the glass beads shine in even greater splendour. This realisation led us to create lamps. Whether as a table, floor or wall lamp, our lamp collection gives your home a luminous character.
Hanging lamp: max. width 18 cm, height without socket 24 cm
Wall lamp: top width 16.5 cm, height 26 cm

Our finger rings are woven from glass beads and Naylon thread and are available in sizes XS, S, M and L. This uniquely different finger ring will accompany you everywhere.
Our assortment includes elegant, braided earrings in the shape of drops, as well as more casual ones in a variety of shapes. The former are woven from fishing line and glass beads and the latter are formed from wire, sequins and glass beads. We buy the earring hooks in Switzerland and they are completely nickel-free.
The women stretch the strong fishing thread in rows on wooden boards. Bead by bead, a pattern is woven - there are no limits to the imagination. The resulting necklaces fall particularly elegantly and smoothly. They are available in different lengths and widths.
Short version: 40.45 cm
Long version: 90-95 cm
These necklaces are braided by the project participants Nashaki and Nema. The jewellery fits on the neck comfortably and is available in a wide and a narrow version. The length can be adjusted and the basic materials are glass beads as well as recycled corn sack threads.
