Handmade by Zenú women in Colombia

Every piece is woven bead by tiny bead by Zenú women in Colombia, using fine glass seed beads (known in Colombia as chaquira) and techniques passed down through generations. Each piece takes many hours of patient work, so no two are ever exactly the same. Yours is truly one of a kind.

When you buy from Stand Out and Shout Out, the makers are paid fairly for their skill, helping their families build brighter futures and keeping their craft alive.

Caring for your necklace

• Store it flat or loosely coiled so the beadwork keeps its shape
• Keep it away from water, perfume and lotions
• Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth
