The vitality and pulse of the areas where we buy from is captured in the simple yet vibrant colours and designs of the Ndebele and Zulu tribes.

PlacesAFar are committed to a fair trading business ethic. All goods are paid for in full (to the artists) before leaving African shores. We buy directly from individual African sculptors, artists, craftsmen and women, helping them sustain their rural communities and encourage self-sufficiency. We offer the finest assortment or traditional hand made jewelry and original art pieces from Zimbabwe, South Africa, Maputo, Congo, Malawi, Kenya and Tanzania.
When buying products, we continue to encourage and support our suppliers to: recycle paper and plastic, send all clay off-cuts to the supplier for recycling and hand craft environmentally responsible products. PlacesAFar will continue to increase our product offering made from recycled material, offer products free from endangered wildlife species (such as ivory), minimise waste by recycling packing material wherever possible, review our environmental policy annually, and offer products where waste is recycled during manufacturing.
Let us offer a brief description of our most popular African hand made jewelry. The bone-style necklace is not actually made from bone, but beads that bear a striking likeness to the skeletal tissue. It consists of a screw fastener to put it on and take it off. The long multi-strand bead necklace is a quality necklace with stunning appeal, consisting of long, multiple layers of beautiful African beads. The African necklace with a hand crafted bone mask pendant has an average length of 16” and a hook fastener. The African Wood Bangle is from Malawi and comes in a variety of intricate, hand carved designs. The African wood bangle comes in small, medium and large sizes. We also have a wide variety of bead bangles, with different designs, colours, and sizes – all of them attractive with a truly African flavour. Try the bone bead barrel necklace. Hand made jewelry direct from Africa, exclusive to PlacesAFar.
