Shanga glass-bead strands

Shanga refers to beads in Kiswahili, not the shuka wrap. These simple strands can be worn individually or layered; the team confirms the available colour sequence. Glass seed beads and geometric colourwork complement the Nareto beadwork collection. Final maker, pattern, materials and availability are confirmed by the team before payment. Community, Livelihoods, Wildlife.

• One finished strand or three separate strands; request length, colour sequence and clasp material. These are finished adornments, not loose bead supplies.
• Ntutumo Ntururo Taramata

Choose the listed capacity, weight or design. For wraps, request the full length and width. For beadwork, send the relevant neck, wrist, ankle, waist or head circumference; necklace strand length is measured end to end. Handmade dimensions and finished weights are confirmed with the available piece before payment.

Measurements are confirmed by Nareto; no unverified size chart is used.

Wipe beadwork gently with a soft dry cloth; avoid soaking, perfume and pulling the threads. Store separately in a pouch. Confirm fastening materials if you have metal sensitivities.
