Necklace – Grey 4 Exclamations

This range pays homage to the iconic beading culture of Zulu women. Beading is a colourful language of the Zulu culture. This range celebrates this culture by fusing its design and sentiment into modern, contemporary versions of it. These unique neckpieces are finished with a highly-polished design of colour and shapes, and each piece tells a story. All of the colours used in the collection of Zulu Love Letters can be used to convey a negative or positive meaning. The shapes also all have meaning: Circles symbolise infinite possibilities and harmony, creating a sense of power, energy and love. Triangles symbolise stability as the shape rests on a solid base. This creates a sense of shared power and energy as well as harmony between the past, present and future. Squares and rectangles symbolise foundations, creating a sense of stability, tradition, trust and fairness.
