Recently, I had the opportunity to check out some pieces from the Leakey Collection. When I first got it and pulled, it out I was stunned with its beauty. I think what makes this jewelry even more stunning is the story behind how it came about. Not only is this jewelry made of all natural products, it also gives over 1200 Kenyans jobs. I received some wonderful Zulugrass Jewelry to review.   From the way it is handcrafted to the colors and versatility, I love everything about this jewelry.  Each strand is extremely light weight so I did not feel weighted down by heavy jewelry. I absolutely love how you can wear the pieces in dozens of ways.  You can wear one strand at a time or combine them for a unique look.

 



The Leakey Collection are natural, African-made, sustainable jewelry and elegant, handcrafted products. Based in the Rift Valley of Kenya, East Africa, fallen wood, sustainable grass and “bush fired” porcelain are used to create uniquely exotic products. Each colorful piece contains vibrant design appeal while giving back to those that produce it.

You can wear it as bracelets, necklaces, ankle bracelets, belts, hair adornment, whatever you can think of, you can use the Zulugrass jewelry to add a unique look.

 

 One thing I love about the Zulugrass is how it’s not only beautiful, but that it was designed and created to help the women of Maasai after “a severe drought that devasted Kenya’s pasturelands and impacted the livelihood of the Maasai that live there.” Katy and Philip Leakey wanted to help. They found the solution by using the natural resources of Maasai, and the beading skills of the Maasai women, to create Zulugrass. So not only are you getting stylish, fashionable jewelry, but you’re also helping people in need.

 

Another thing I love about my Zulugrass is that it can be worn so many different ways. As a necklace, bracelet, anklet, the list goes on. And you can mix and match the colors to match your outfit for that day. This is really beautiful jewelry, I love how it looks. It looks wonderful with colored clothing or draws extra attention to it’s beauty when paired with a simple white or black outfit. This jewelry is definitely a winner.
