KAZURI, which means ‘small and beautiful’ in Swahili, a well-deserved name for the handcrafted jewelry found there, began in 1975 to create employment for struggling single mothers. The ornaments produced here are indeed very beautiful.

Kazuri Beads Tour

Kazuri now employs 350 local women. It experimented and succeeded to make ceramic beads by hand.

Each bead is shaped from clay by hand, then kiln fired, hand glazed and fired again before being strung to make a necklace or bracelet.

Because each bead is hand-crafted and painted, no two beads are alike, making each piece of Kazuri jewelry a one-of-a-kind creation.

With an organic character derived from the personal trademark craftsmanship of the Kenyan women.
