San O Shell Necklace

 Created in the Kalahari Desert in the shadow of Tsodilo Hills, this elegant necklace is made with hand shaped ostrich eggshell disks and beads.

The eggshells are broken in to suitable sized pieces before hand drilling a hole in each piece. Once the pieces are drilled, the beads are strung together for the labor-intensive shaping process.

The light colored, natural eggshells are complimented with the addition of darker colored disks and beads, tinted with traditional natural dyes found in the Kalahari.

This necklace measures 16.5" end to end
