African jewelry: African jewelry is as variegated as the African people themselves. Armed perhaps with the richest natural resources in the world; the African jeweler is constrained by only his imagination and in certain special cases by tribal tradition and superstition. Palm leaves, leather, eggshells, stone, ivory, bronze, brass, silver, copper, gold, animal bones, glass, semi and precious stones and most recently plastic were all utilized for aesthetic adornment purposes. In the country of Mali where natural resources abound, tribal craftsmen utilizing their ingenious imagination have skillfully chiseled bold heavy manacles made from beautiful native stone that is indigenous to Mali. Regal, smooth, cool, natural and unique describe this African achievement. It offers an excellent way to carry a piece of the 'motherland' around with you wherever you go!
