There are many bead suppliers in Africa but not a lot of jewellers working with beads – more crafters who are not working in precious metal. African beads come in glass, ceramics and now in modern times people are making African beads with Fimo. An African silver bead ring should not use fimo beads as they are not strong enough for jewelry

Zulu Love Letters Love letters go back to to the arrival of glass beads in Natal South Africa (1830) and had been swiftly given meanings dependent upon their color. Prior to beads, Zulu girls would use seeds, ostrich eggshell as well as sea shells for adornment. The actual love letters are small, postage stamp sized items of beads which express an feeling to the recipient – usually a good or bad desire towards his approaches. The colors are blended to express a range of meaning.

The colors of the Zulu Love Letters mean:

WHITE: purity – faithfulness – peace – true love

RED: intense love – my heart bleeds for you BLACK: sorrow – loneliness – disappointment – ‘my heart has become as black as the rafters of the roof, as I hear you have another maiden’ GREEN: jealousy – love-sickness – ‘I have become as thin as a blade of new grass from pining for you’ BLUE: hope – calmness – faithfulness – ‘if I were a dove, I would fly the endless skies to you’

TRANSPARENT: doubt – uncertainty – ‘you are like the grasshopper, springing from bush to bush’
