JACODA GEMSTONES

Arts and crafts

This is an address not to be missed if you want to bring back beautiful jewelry from Zambia, a country whose subsoil is rich in precious stones. Ross Walker and Claire Chan started mining aquamarines and tourmalines in the 1980s before diversifying into jewelry to create the Jagoda jewelry brand in 1991, employing Zambian artists.

This store (there is another one in Livingstone) provides furniture and decoration for some of the country's finest lodges.

Kubu Crafts also supports several community and development projects.
