Our Story
Beads At First Sight!
Picture a young girl wandering through a bustling local market in the heart of Kajiado County. Amidst the crowd, she is captivated by the sight of graceful Maasai women adorned in their intricate jewelry—earrings dangling, layered neckpieces swaying with melodious charm as they walked.
Her curiosity burned – how were these breathtaking pieces created, from tiny beads to such stunning works of art?
And thus, Beads Centric (formerly M&M Beads) was born – from a quest to uncover the cultural history and artistry behind Maasai jewelry-making. I didn’t just want to wear these pieces; I yearned to create them myself, and eventually, to share that joy with others.
Fast forward to 2021, and our YouTube channel has ignited a passion for Maasai jewelry to over 4,000 people worldwide! Together, we’re keeping this vibrant tradition alive, passing it down to future generations.
We are deeply honored to be part of this rich heritage, and we invite you to join us as we weave this story.
