“Beads are a language. I am writing long sentences.”Heritage collectionAll pieces from South Africa
Naledi composes beaded collars and earrings in colour sequences drawn from Zulu courting messages, recast in a contemporary palette.
She sources recycled glass beads from Krobo kilns and threads each piece on waxed silk, a single collar taking up to six weeks.
