I love the Maasai inspired necklines I’ve been seeing on the pages of fashion magazines this month! A few years ago I commissioned my friend, and jewelry designer Barbara Zeldin to create a necklace for me based on the Maasai women in the above photo. Barbara’s beaded bracelets and necklaces reminded me of the intricately beaded beautiful Maasai patterns I had seen in Kenya years before.

What I’ve noticed now, the thread wrapped necklaces, metal collar plates or woven necklines of the dress itself, manage to conjure up the same exotic intrigue as the originals in East Africa.
