During my trip to Cape Town I visited Boulder Beach, famous for African Penguins which are only found on the coastlines of Southern Africa. For this look, I am wearing a vibrant African Zulu beaded necklace that has been handcrafted from traditional Zulu beads by genuine Zulu tribeswomen. I love to spot and get traditional jewellery made by local craftsmen on all of my trips. This necklace is usually worn with traditional bridal dresses (rather appropriate for me to wear as my wedding is in a few weeks) and it is absolutely stunning. A certain beaded necklace worn by a Zulu woman may also inform men that she is unmarried…
