Jewels found this piece in Cairo. The earliest know faience beads and ceramics were found in Egypt as early as 4000 BCE. This wonderful ornament has great age and patina but the date is unknown. We made the very fine hand woven cord, of course, and finished it, also as we do most of our woven pieces, with a silver Moroccan coin from the early 20th century.
One of a kind
Pendant: 1 1/2 x 1 7/8 x 3/16″
Necklace length: 24.25″
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.
