semi-fossilized amber resin
also known as copal. Paul

bigger than a telephone box.
His jewelry has beads from
all over Africa. These
earrings feature a bead of
red amber resin, often
called copal, which is
accented with bohemian
striped trade beads. Only in
my jewelry can all of Africa
get along, Paul Muragu says,
smiling. Working in a shed
the size of a telephone
booth in the Nairobi
Westlands, He has beads from
Mali, Niger, Ivory Coast,
Ethiopia, Ghana, and many
parts of Kenya, just to name
a few. He makes many of the
metal beads himself and buys
glass beads from a womens
cooperative in Nairobi that
makes the beads from
recycled glass.
