Handmade elegance from Ethiopia’s artisan heritage
Illuminate your style with this exquisite pairing: a seven-strand Ethiopian silver and brass bicone-bead necklace, hand-crafted to cascade elegantly, paired with a lightweight white Muya scarf, perfect for layering against a breeze.
This set was donated by former Water1st board member Diane Langstraat, who purchased it on a trip to Ethiopia, directly supporting local artisans and celebrating the artistry of Ethiopian women.
Details & Craftsmanship:
✦ The necklace features handmade silver and brass metal bicone beads, arranged in seven graceful strands that catch the light with every movement.
✦ The scarf is handwoven in Ethiopia by Muya, woven from cotton and designed to be machine-washable, combining tradition with practicality.
✦ Muya Ethiopia, founded by designer Sara Abera, is a social enterprise and fair-trade company that has brought Ethiopian craftsmanship to global recognition, with textiles featured in high-end boutiques and international design markets.
This set brings together two beautiful forms of Ethiopian artistry — a striking metalwork necklace and a soft, wearable textile — making it an exceptional gift or statement piece that connects you to craftsmanship and culture.
Value: $300
Special thanks to Diane Langstraat
