Have you ever seen a classic Guatemalan charm necklace? The white heart glass beads, white on the inside and blood red on the outside, were used with the many other trade beads, charms and coins. The blues here are rare, Bohemian, Jewels finds rarely. “What is fascinating, to see the migration of these beads around the world diffrent styles different cultures.
This piece is a take on the Guatemalan necklaces, pared down with gorgeous Czech, French and Italian made glass beads in addition to the white hearts and our Brijoux sterling cross amulet. As almost always, the closure is a Moroccan silver coin and we wove the cord.
One of kind
Cross: just under 3/4 x 5/8″
Necklace length from end of loop to coin (shorter length): 19”
A note about our woven cords. We weave these by hand, every one of them. Like all Jewels’ work no two are exact, as each of us. The work is labor intensive. When warmed to the skin the cord becomes more supple, conforms to the wearer, hangs at it should; the necklace transforms more than just a necklace. It becomes her or him.
