“Circles of Heritage” Maasai Bead Earrings

Elevate your style with these playful, feather-light black and white Maasai beaded double-circle drop earrings!

Each pair is finished with hypoallergenic hooks and features a 3.5-inch total drop length, with a 1.5-inch wide larger circle and a 1.125-inch wide smaller circle.

Maasai beadwork is far more than adornment—it reflects the tribe’s beauty, strength, tradition, warriorhood, social status, and profound respect for their cattle. Women in the village pass this ancient art form down through generations, carefully threading small glass beads onto clear string to craft striking designs for bracelets, earrings, and necklaces.

In Maasai culture, every color tells a story: white stands for peace, purity, and good health, black symbolizes the people themselves and the hardships they face and, orange reflects hospitality. Visitors are served cow’s milk from orange gourds.

Handcrafted by Maasai women in rural Kenya, this Fair Trade jewelry not only adds a bold statement to your wardrobe but also supports and empowers the artisans who create it.
