Guardian Angel with 3D Wings and Dark Purple Beads

Description

The Guardian Angel Collection draws inspiration from the exquisite Gardi Angel range, renowned for their beautifully crocheted 3D wings. This particular angel, adorned with deep purple beads, is one of four in the series, each distinguished by unique bead colours: sky blue, matte pink, and pearly white. The angel is elegantly dressed in a white ostrich feather gown, with impressive crocheted wings further embellished by purple beads. The head is hand-felted from soft, undyed mohair fleece sourced from Angora goats, and is crowned with a delicate halo of purple beads that sits gracefully atop.

All the Guardian Angels come with the same name tag: ‘I am a Karoo Angel, and I have many different names given to me by people all over the world. That is because I am a Guardian Angel.’

Guardian Angels are thoughtful gifts for any occasion, such as birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, and Easter. These handcrafted angels, made from felt, ostrich feathers, beads, and wire, can also decorate your home, adding elegance and serenity. They are perfect for special events like christenings, weddings, and graduations, serving as lasting reminders of those moments. Additionally, they can be given as tokens of sympathy and support during tough times, offering comfort and protection.

Handcrafted in South Africa by Karoo Angels

The Karoo Angels Story

The Karoo Angels story began in 2006 in Vondeling, a remote village in the Karoo semi-desert of South Africa. What started as a small craft project for community upliftment soon grew into something much larger. The project provided training to local artisans, leading to the creation of unique, handcrafted angels from wire, beads, wool, and ostrich feathers. The project expanded to include Rietbron, forming the Karoo Angels brand. These angels have gained international recognition, bringing pride and income to once-forgotten villages.

Good to Know: The sizes of the Karoo Angels can vary, as each one is handcrafted. This natural variation arises from the artisanal process and the use of non-standardised ostrich feathers. The feather tufts used in creating the angels are supplied by Cape Karoo International, globally renowned for their finest quality ostrich plumes. Each angel’s individuality adds to its charm and authenticity, making it a truly exceptional piece of art.
