ROOTS JEWELRY STYLES
THE JEWELRY MADE AT THE ROOTS CENTRE IN JUBA, SOUTH SUDAN IS BOTH TRADITIONAL AND CONTEMPORARY. THE TRADITIONAL PIECES ARE FROM VARIOUS TRIBES INCLUDING DINKA, NUER, SHILLUK, MUNDARI, TOPOSA AND REFLECT THEIR HISTORY AND CULTURE. THE CONTEMPORARY PIECES ARE DESIGNED WITH TODAY'S BUYER IN MIND. THE JEWELRY IS HANDMADE WITH CZECH GLASS BEADS AS SHOWN IN THE SLIDESHOW ABOVE.
ONE OF A KIND
Your chosen piece is 100% handmade by one of our beaders in Juba, South Sudan, so no two pieces will ever be exactly the same. With different hands crafting each piece, we celebrate the uniqueness of the slight irregularities and differences between them, truly making them one of a kind.
