A STORY IN EVERY BEAD: 50 YEARS OF KAZURI

 

Join us in celebrating a remarkable journey of artistry, empowerment, and enduring connection.

In 1975, a fierce idea took root in a Nairobi backyard: to create real, honest work for women who needed it most. Susan Wood began with just two mothers and an idea. That personal leap of faith ignited the very beginning of our 50-year story. Today, Kazuri has blossomed into a global beacon of craftsmanship, where every ceramic bead, warm from the kiln and painted by hand, holds the unique signature of the woman who shaped it. This isn't just jewelry; it's a vibrant, resilient story worn close to your heart.

A Legacy Woven in Every Bead

The magic of Kazuri has endured for 50 glorious years, woven into the very fabric of our being. This spirit lies not only in the exquisite clay we shape but in the smiles and hearts of the hundreds of women who have passed through our doors, finding opportunity and empowerment. Our journey began with the simple, revolutionary idea of providing sustainable employment, and today, as a certified Fair Trade organization, we uphold that commitment. This legacy blooms in the joyous singing that lifts from the workshop, is passed on in the unique glaze of each ceramic bead they craft, and radiates in the glow of every person who wears them—making Kazuri, or "small and beautiful," a powerful global philosophy.

As we mark this extraordinary Golden Jubilee, we honor this foundation and the women who are the soul of our brand. The Heritage Collection is our tribute—a celebration of the timeless patterns and vibrant colors that have defined our DNA since our inception. This collection is inspired by the original styles that launched our journey five decades ago, reimagined with the same dedication and passion. Thank you for being part of the Kazuri story; here’s to the next 50 years of beautiful, small things.

The Heritage Collection: Weaving Our Roots Into The Future

To mark our Golden Jubilee, we proudly present The Heritage Collection—a vibrant declaration of our values, expressed through every single bead we chose. This anniversary line is a narrative woven from intentional choices and traditional skill, celebrating 50 years of handcrafted excellence and mindful artistry.

The Heritage Collection is a powerful statement of Kazuri's core values, expressed through every bead. It’s a narrative woven from intentionally sourced materials: our renowned ceramic beads, crafted from local clay gathered from the base of Mount Kenya. These foundational pieces are beautifully complemented by Recycled Batik Bone, transforming discarded material into elegant new forms, honoring resourcefulness and tradition. Completing this rich tapestry are vibrant West African Glass beads, reborn from recycled fragments using an age-old, low-waste firing method practiced for generations.

Every piece is made in small batches to prevent overproduction, proving that nothing is mass-produced—everything is intentional. Discover the pieces that tell our story.
