Rasta Beads and Accessories

Black, gold, red, and green are the colors that represent Jamaican Rastafarians. The beads in these colors are known as Rasta beads. These Rasta beads are often used with cowry shells to be turned into accessories such as necklaces, bracelets, wristbands, rings, cufflinks, and earrings. Sometimes, Rasta accessories such as hair ornaments are also available. Numerous individuals like to wear these items because they are hip, trendy, and affordable. In addition, whenever someone buys Rasta accessories, he sort of partakes in the celebration of Black culture. He can use the accessories as keepsakes to commemorate the Black History Month.
Anyway, selling handmade Rasta accessories is a good way to earn extra money. If you are really good, you can even turn your little business into your primary means of living. You can buy wholesale Rasta beads if you cannot make them yourself, and you can turn them into fine accessories. You just have to use your creativity to come up with beautiful designs; and use your hands to carefully string the Rasta beads together. All you will need are jewelry wire, crimping pliers, wire cutter or scissors, and of course, the Rasta beads. You can also add some cowry shells.
