Pre Columbian jade and greenstone from Mexico and/or Central America and Moroccan Amazonite beads strung on our hand woven cord. There are also a couple of old, possibly ancient Chinese jade beads. We finished it with hand stitched olive green leather and, as almost always, a fabulous Moroccan silver coin. The beads are beyond gorgeous. The amateur photographs do not do this piece justice, our apologies! They glow and glisten and have so much power and character from age, wear and time. As these beads were heirlooms in ancient times, this necklace shall be an heirloom for the next generation.
One of a kind
Central bead: just over 1.5 x .5″
Necklace length: 20 7/8″
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
