Yahhhh!! Typographic and colorful adornment. These beaded necklaces radiate Positivity! The Zulu people of South Africa created these wonders. I am curious to learn the necklaces say. Are they names? Political statements? Prayers?

“jabula mngani,” literally “happy friend.” It was interpreted as “be happy my friend we are going to get married”…
A, Oh Wow! Thank you for the translation! I had a feeling they might have something to do with love as I read more about Zulu’s and ‘love beads’.
