Jewelry is not just decorative, but a vital aspect of Maasai culture. Items are made and worn to indicate age and social status as well as to mark important events. And colors represent particular meanings. The orange in the beautiful piece represents hospitality, friendship, and generosity.

For example, when a woman becomes engaged, she's gifted a special engagement necklace consisting of two intertwined beaded strands. For her wedding day, she receives a wide collar necklace made by her mother to wear for the ceremony. Though both men and women wear jewelry, women are the primary artisans creating these special heirloom pieces. Traditionally, it was considered a social duty for women to learn how to make beaded jewelry.
