Each ostrich egg shell necklace made by the Botswana's San Bushmen is painstakingly made by hand. The holes in the beads are drilled using a sharpened piece of heavy wire which is rolled vigorously between the palms of the hands. The rough beads are then strung together to form a long strand and shaped until they are smooth and round. Most of this work is done by the lady artisans of the village.

The natural color of the ostrich egg shell is seen in the white beads. Other colors such as tans and dark browns are obtained by coloring the beads in traditional plant dyes

This intricate choker style necklace measures approximately 18" long: end to end and is about 1/2" in diameter
