Fair trade African Jewelry - Paper bead necklace - Handmade with Love in Uganda Ki Kati paper bead jewellery is hand made by industrious Ugandan women who create beautiful necklaces, bracelets & earrings from strips of recycled paper. The colourful paper is carefully cut into strips, tightly rolled, then lightly varnished to create a durable, lightweight bead. The beads are then strung by hand to create a stunning piece of jewellery. Each necklace is as unique as the paper it comes from and the woman who made it. Ki Kati ensures the women are paid a fair price for their work so your jewellery provides a source of income for these women as well as being an ingenious way to recycle paper.
