19th and early 20th century, Morocco
Silver coin charms dangling from sterling chains, black and white glass trade beads and the most gorgeous and quite rare dark green faceted French glass trade beads, made for the Moroccan trade. Jewels will find a handful of the glass beads but among them only one dark green. It took her three years to collect this group. We wove our very finest cord for this necklace. Don’t let the images fool you. The coins are silver. There is no yellow, green nor red in them. While so glam it is also so wearable with a T.
One of a kind
Average bead: .75 x .5″
Necklace length from coin closure to end of loop (shorter length): 17.75″
A note about our woven cords. We weave these by hand, every one of them; the work is labor intensive; like all Jewels’ work no two are exact, as each of us and how things should be. When warmed to the skin the cord becomes more supple, conforms to the wearer, hangs just right; the necklace transforms more than just a necklace. It becomes her or him. This is the Slow Jewelry Movement. #MadeByHumans
