I have had this Zulu bead necklace for about 2 and a half years. I just wore it this week for the first time EVER! What took me so long?!? It’s so cute and I want MORE!! I think when I first received it, I was over thinking about how I should rock it so I set it aside. THEN I totally forgot I had it..lol It wasnt until I bought the necklace below from ASOS did I start thinking about my Zulu bead necklace. Clearly ASOS sought inspiration from Zulu bead necklaces.
My BFF got it for me in South Africa. It can be worn as a necklace or as a headpiece like the great and late South African singer Miriam Makeba .
Femmes Royales sells some lovely Zulu necklaces in their Akaye Collection. See some pics from this collection below.
This necklace below really caught my eye because it’s so similar to the ZARA necklace I wanted last summer. I saw some ladies rocking it and as soon as I found out it was from ZARA, it was already sold out 😦
Below is a picture of one of my FAV fashion bloggers Cynthia of Simply Cyn rocking the sold out ZARA necklace I wanted.
They look EXACTLY the same!! Loves it!
Solange and Kelis are Zulu inspired!
Would you rock a Zulu necklace? Would you rock it as a headpiece like Miriam Makeba or as a necklace?
Let me know in the comments and thanks for stopping by 🙂

I love the beauty and versatility of the Zulu necklace! Thx for sharing bopz 🙂
Thanks for giving me this necklace :-)! :-)!
I adore these necklaces, i dont see a lot of people wearing them and you know that’s always a good thing!! In fact, I totally forgot you could wear them as head pieces, I want one, I WANT ONE. it would give my TWA much pizzazz. The zulu necklace with the simple white vest and Poetic J Brainds just P O P S, great effortless summer look!
Yes Biki rock it with that TWA! Thank you!I ‘m realizing less is more 🙂
I’d definitely rock it as a headpiece AND necklace.
Yep cute, either way!
Thanks for commenting 🙂

I got an inspired one from Newlook last summer. I’ve only worn it as a necklace like here: http://parasolsandwellies.blogspot.com/2013/08/look-zebra-print-with-touch-of-ethnic.html
I love your authentic one. The colour is vibrant on you.
Thank you 🙂
I love your necklace as well, it’s very colforful. It look looks good and stands out against the zebra print jumpsuit. Super cute! ❤
