African jewelry offers the appeal of natural materials and artisan craftsmanship. While some designs offer a more universal application, here's a bracelet that's perfect for Africa enthusiasts.

Nairobi artisans gird tough straps of leather with a punched tin and copper plate, then top it off with a tooled brass insignia of the African continent.

This chunky bracelet has definite masculine overtones, but it makes a great fairly traded adornment for women or men.
