Sarah Forbes Bonetta

Sarah Forbes Bonetta Waist Beads – Translucent Teal
​Royal resilience, oceanic depth. Inspired by the incredible life of Sarah Forbes Bonetta, a West African princess (Omoba) of the Egbado people. Her journey took her from captivity to the royal courts of Victorian England, where she became a goddaughter to Queen Victoria and a celebrated figure of high society. Sarah moved with a rare, quiet intelligence and a dignity that bridged two worlds, proving that true royalty is carried in the spirit.
​This strand features a sophisticated, monochromatic palette of translucent deep teal-blue beads. In the language of color, teal represents the vast ocean that Sarah crossed and the spiritual depth of a woman who flourished despite the odds. The translucent glass captures the light, mirroring the clarity of her mind and the resilience of a heart that remained anchored in its own truth. It is a symbol of regal authority and the courage to navigate uncharted waters with grace.
​Why You’ll Love Them:
​Symbolism: A tribute to West African royalty, the "Victorian Princess" spirit of adaptability, and the enduring strength of the Egbado legacy.
​Energy: Designed to soothe the Throat Chakra (expression) and the Heart Chakra (healing), promoting a sense of calm confidence and emotional stability.
​Aesthetic: A rich, jewel-toned blue that radiates a high-end, classic energy. The translucent finish gives the teal a "glow from within," offering a stunning and timeless look against every skin tone.
​"A radiant, soul-deep embrace for the woman who carries her crown with grace and navigates the world with the wisdom of a queen."
