“THE MAASAI NECKLACE”

……………………Many aren’t fortunate enough to travel the world and experience and see people and places that can only be dreamed about or seen in magazines….I feel blessed to have been able to travel to many places with Jac and we have seen many wonderful things. There were many countries and places we had hoped to visit, but time ran out for us…….North Africa is a mysterious region, and a glorious place we were able to see. There are many places where time has stood still, and people live like they have lived for ages………The Maasai are such people. Many never leave their villages, and only know of heat, drought and the blaring sun. These conditions do not deter them. In fact, I believe it is because of these conditions they dress the way they do. They are exuberant in the colors and patterns they wear and the jewelry they make by hand. The women have lived like this for centuries. It is quite amazing that they all have taken on the same mantel, with the high spirit they have, considering their daily conditions. They need to wear BRIGHT COLOR and EXOTIC COLORFUL jewelry to compete with the STRONG LIGHT of the SUN!……..Almost every piece of clothing and jewelry they wear they make themselves. Their vivacious personalities and their sense of style is INSPIRING………….Remember, the men dress exactly as the women do……..This necklace is an extraordinary and exceptional piece to add to your Linea Jewelry Collection……………The MAASAI NECKLACE, J477427, is a piece I am very proud to bring to you…..It is unlike anything I have EVER done before, and is a standout. I would hope a Maasai woman would love it too……………..These pieces…….the Necklace…….the Bracelet………and the Earring ……are all HAND MADE!…………There are five rows of MULTI COLOR DISCS, GOLD BEADS, MULTI COLOR PATTERNED FABRIC CORDS, GOLD RINGS, and THIN GOLD TUBES from which COLOR BEADS are attached……….It takes many hours and a lot of patience to make just one. These are VERY LIMITED!…….I am sure there are those of you who will say, “this is very pretty but it’s not me”……..I ask why?…….This is for a women who has an adventurous soul….some one who is free spirited with a touch of the exotic, even if you’re the only one who knows it. It’s for a woman who is willing to JUMP out of the box she has lived in for so long, and try something NEW. I hope this applies to all of you.  If you still don’t think this is for you maybe it’s time to consider these words…..Believe me when I say…I am not pushing you to buy, there probably aren’t enough for those of you who want it. I’m pushing you to THINK DIFFERENTLY…..to have more freedom…….I will display this necklace next to my antique Berber pieces and my African beaded artifacts so I can see it every time I go into the gathering room in our home, and look at my collections on the shelves. It is that authentic looking……….I also know that this is just what many of you are looking for but can never find, and will enjoy it the moment it arrives…………..To ALL of you I say……be a MAASAI!……Live the JUBILANT life you were meant to live……………………………………………..much Love…………………………..Louis

    I had a chance to meet the Maasai on a trip to Kenya and Tanzania about five years ago. Of my trips to Africa, Kenya is one of my favorites only tied with Uganda. I have a photo with the Maasai women and the one thing that really stands out is color.

    I can’t wait to get this necklace.

      Michelle…..Bravo to you…..I think we all have to embrace our inner Maasai……It astounds me that without any outside influences, these people have created for themselves their own way of dressing, their own style….their own fashion, and it’s fabulous!
