Traditional African Designs


Our Traditional elephant hair jewelry designs are taken from the African cultures’ first elephant hair jewelry designs. These designs range from delicate to bulky or rugged and come with their own sizing options for larger and smaller wrists.  In the late 1800's Francis Cary's grandfather started selling these styles on his travels in Africa. This is where the roots for today's business stated and grew to what the business is today. Since Francis Cary started selling elephant hair bangles he has created many styles -a lot of them include various metals.

These Traditional elephant hair bangles are simple, yet elegant. The Traditional bracelet will fit perfectly on your loved one’s wrist and in their heart!
