Silver, Red, and Blue Beaded Necklace Ethiopia
Description
Ethiopian beaded necklaces are beautiful and unique pieces of jewelry that are often handcrafted by skilled artisans in Ethiopia. These necklaces are made using a variety of materials such as glass beads, brass beads, silver beads, and leather cords.
One of the most popular types of Ethiopian beaded necklaces is the traditional Ethiopian cross necklace. This necklace features a large cross pendant that is made of brass or silver and is decorated with intricate designs and symbols. The pendant is then strung onto a string of beads that can be made of various materials and colors.
Another popular type of Ethiopian beaded necklace is the beaded choker necklace. This necklace is made of tightly woven beads that form a narrow band around the neck. It can be made in a variety of colors and designs and is often worn with traditional Ethiopian clothing.
Ethiopian beaded necklaces are not only beautiful but also hold cultural significance. They are often worn during traditional Ethiopian celebrations and ceremonies and are believed to bring good luck and protection to the wearer.
Ethiopia is home to one of the oldest continuous Christian traditions in the world, and Ethiopian silversmiths produce religious jewelry as an expression of that tradition. Star of David pendants are worn around the neck and emphasize the relationship of Christian Ethiopians to Israel, King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba.
