Ajabu Beads are more than just jewelry—they are hand-crafted expressions of warmth and artistry, infused with the soul of the earth`

I’m so grateful that Kaleidoscope Creations is bringing us Ajabu Beads! I used to support Kazuri Beads from Kenya and was heartbroken when they became unavailable. Now, Ajabu Beads have filled that void with their exquisite craftsmanship. These necklaces are not just accessories; they are timeless gifts filled with meaning.

As an artist and a close colleague of the founder of Kaleidoscope Creations, I was immediately captivated by the vibrant beauty of Ajabu Beads. Their multi-colored designs breathe life into any outfit and make the perfect travel companion—versatile, elegant, and full of character.

Ajabu Beads are unlike anything I’ve ever worn. When I received a matching necklace and bracelet as a gift, I was overwhelmed by their beauty. Every time I wear them, I receive endless compliments. I can’t wait to see what Kaleidoscope Creations brings next and to continue growing my collection!

“My name is Monca. I am a single mother of five children. Some years back before COVID-19 the company I used to work for was forced to let us all go. Ajabu gave me a second chance. I can provide for my children. Ajabu has challenges but through the support of our customers we can solve most of our problems. I thank Ajabu Beads because I can now sustain my children and myself.”

“My name is Christine, and I am feeling blessed working for Ajabu Beads. I became jobless when COVID-19 struck the world and became so desperate because I could not afford a sustainable lifestyle. Taking care of my kids and ailing mother was so hard. We could only afford to have a meal once a day, struggled to provide my mother’s medication and the kids were in and out of school as paying the fee was hard. Ajabu Beads found me, gave me a job and now life is back to normal. I can now buy medicine for my ailing mother, put a plate of food on the table and have my kids in school. Thank you to all who support Ajabu Beads because through Ajabu Beads life is good.”
