Best of Both Worlds Necklace, Heritageware

About the Item

We pay tribute to our mother country by featuring our designer piece, The Best of Both Worlds. Combining our traditional Antiguan Caribbeads with African glass beads, we honor our roots in this elegant necklace. The gentle swirling greens and reds of the glass bead are set as the centerpiece of our wild tamarind and jumbie bead seed pendant with another African bead set at the neckline. Botanique is Deeper than Seeds, and our mission is to empower the wise women of Antigua and Barbuda and our sisters in Africa one seed, one bead at a time. Botanique honors the intangible cultural history unique to the island nation and uses today’s craftswomen to create contemporary forms of wearable art based on a rich cultural tradition. Each beautifully hand crafted Botanique Best of Both Worlds necklace is approximately 18 inches in length with a pendant which has a diameter of approximately 2 inches.

  • Blood & Pride of Barbuda Bracelet, Handmade Caribbean Seed Ware
    Located in Oxford, MD
    The original variation of this design has been exclusively tailored for sale at The Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History & Culture. This is variation #5 of our most popular bracelet design, in ode to Barbuda. This unique 8” x .5” bracelet is inspired by the flag of Antigua and Barbuda and the Pan-African Flag. The wild tamarind seeds dyed black represent the black in both flags symbolizing Black peoples. In contrast, the petal-floral patterns accentuated with the red of the jumbie bead seeds highlight the Blood shed for the sake of liberation and the blood that unites us all across the diaspora—perfectly closing with a wild tamarind and jumbie bead seed loop and button. It inspires all that wear this bracelet to embody its symbolism. The masterful handicraft of wild tamarind and jumbie bead seedwork is a dying art, with only five women left in the world to create it. Botaniqué Studios...
