When shopping for jewelry, look for pieces that are affordable and stylish, but also eco-friendly. The Leakey collection was founded in 2002 by Katy and Philip Leakey. Their work includes the design and manufacture of contemporary jewelry that is handmade by the Maasai women and men of Kenya from environmentally sustainable materials. Not only are the Massai people paid for their work and given the flexibility they need to maintain their jobs, 5% of profits go back to supporting infrastructure in the Rift Valley of Kenya.

 

Zulugrass multi-strand necklace

One of the highlights in the collection, Zulugrass, is lightweight, durable and versatile. You can get dozens of different looks from just a few strands. With a couple twists, you can wear Zulugrass jewelry as bracelets, necklaces, hair accessories and more.

Zulugrass is available in fresh spring colors to jazz up you look this season. The jewelry is sold at over 1,200 retail outlets, as well as online at leakeylife.com.. The multistrand necklace pictured here is just $39.95. By making your purchase, you will not only get fabulous, handmade jewelry, you will also be giving back to a very worthwhile cause.
