An orange and blue maasai neck choker

A Masai neck choker in orange and blue is a bold and culturally rich piece of jewelry, often handcrafted by Maasai artisans in Kenya and Tanzania.

 It is typically made using small, colorful glass beads meticulously woven together on a sturdy wire or leather base.

Dominantly orange and blue, creating a striking contrast. 

Orange symbolizes hospitality and warmth in Maasai culture, while blue represents the sky, energy, and sustenance.

Design: A multi-layered or single-layer choker that sits elegantly around the neck, often featuring concentric bead patterns or geometric designs.

Materials: High-quality glass beads, wire, leather backing, and sometimes brass or recycled elements for added detail.

Closure: Adjustable ties or a hook-and-eye closure for a comfortable fit.

Cultural Significance: Traditionally worn by Maasai women to indicate social status, age, or marital status, and used in ceremonies and celebrations.
