Orange beads of recycled glass alternate with black recycled plastic beads in this eye-catching necklace from West Africa. Millicent Okine designs the necklace with a passion for environmental responsibility, circling the neck with discs of recycled plastic. She names the necklace Adepa, an Akan word meaning "a good thing."

As soon as I received this bracelet I put it on and wore it all day. It is very attractive and well made. Knowing that it represents a tiny step toward solving the problem of excess plastic adds to my enjoyment in wearing it. Well done, Millicent!
