From Mama's friends in Lesotho:

All of the necklaces below are made in the mountainous Kingdom of Lesotho. Lesotho is that little country you see on the map which is completely surrounded by South Africa. The earrings are brought to you from Uganda and are all hand made.

Although a small nation, Lesotho has a rich history and culture and Mama looks forward to bringing you even more of their products soon. If you are interested in seeing some of their incredible bright colored basketry or a special find item that Mama has come across for you, just click here: Basketry Stand or Special Finds Stand. And remember, if you have any questions, just ask Mama.
