  - Zulu bead earringsZulu earrings The Zulus of South Africa are well known for their wonderful bead work, using the small glass seed beads. They craft a wide range of products, and here we have some of their pretty earrings. The colours range from bright primary coloured beads, to rather more sophisticated and subtle coloured ones. The earrings are very light to wear, and move with a turn of your head.
  - Miscellaneous earringsMiscellaneous Earrings This selection of earrings is constantly changing, as each time we go on a buying spree, we find new ones! Here you will find some spherical balls of malachite. Malachite is actually a green copper mineral which is used as a gemstone, as it has such wonderful ‘stripes’ of various shades of rich green when polished. The felt earrings are quite long and large, but being made of felt, are light and comfy to wear. Each one is hand stitched from discs of felt, with a bobble at the end. You will also see some really cute and original little people earrings, made from recycled metal on the shores of Lake Victoria. They dance around as you wear them, and are always a cause for smiles and comments. For you cyclists out there, how about the bicycles? These will amuse those knowing and sharing your passion. Others earrings come and go, beaded, felt, recycled, we try and always have a large range here This is your personal Bazaar Africa desktop [mega_main_menu location=”mega_main_sidebar_menu”][/mega_main_menu]
