TiedTogether2012 is an amazing concept that imports handmade jewelry by the Samburu People of Kenya to the United States in order to tie two distinct cultures together. The Samburu, who are semi-nomadic pastoralists, rely on livestock and good weather to make a living. To overcome their hardships, such as frequent drought, they have a culture rich with singing, dancing, and costumes. They are now using their beautiful and colorful beads to create cuffs and earrings to sell to other countries in order to raise awareness of their culture. The unique jewelry can be found at this link and will definitely be noticed at a party or in class. You are helping others while purchasing exquisite, handmade and rare creations!
