Tandjies Seed Necklaces african wire craft whilst the women’s pipe isThese traditional South African seed chain necklace strands are made with Tandjies seeds (or the Coix Lacryma Jobi, or Jobs Tears plant). Stunning and simple to be worn as jewellery, strands of the beads also look beautiful in home and garden dcor. Each strand is approximately 1. 4m. (The image shows 4 strands.) They are also well known for their benefits for babies who are teething, hence the name Tandjies (Afrikaans for little teeth). Available
