Trio Segmented Chokers in Ivory, Coral, and Indigo - Rhythm of Layer & Light – Enkito e Olkereti (Step of Adornment).
More than necklaces—this is a symphony of subtle texture, intimate layering, and effortless, wearable color.
Introducing the Enkito e Olkereti Rhythm of Layer & Light:
A customizable set of three fine seed bead chokers, designed to be worn stacked as a harmonious unit or individually. Each strand features tiny, uniformly sized seed beads that hug the base of the neck, creating an intimate profile. The coloration is subtly segmented and designed for visual continuity across the layers:
-
Choker 1 (Top/Bottom): Predominantly Ivory-White with strategic accents of Indigo and Coral/Peach.
-
Choker 2 (Center): Features a balanced mix of Coral/Peach and Ivory-White segments.
The deliberate spacing of color blocks creates a dynamic, rhythmic contrast against the skin. This set transforms simple bead strands into a sophisticated, modern stack and everyday wear into an intentional act of adornment.
Artisan Connection:
Inspired by the concept of Maasai and Samburu neck layering, where multiple fine strands (shanga) are worn close to the skin for protection and beauty, this set reinterprets that tradition with a modern, delicate touch. Hand-strung by skilled artisans, the uniform size of the beads and the precision of the color segmentation speak to a meticulous dedication to craft. The color palette draws from natural elements—the bright warmth of coral, the deep calm of indigo, and the purity of ivory—connecting the wearer to the natural beauty of the Kenyan landscape.
