The little figure is from Pre European contact Mexico. It is the sweetest stone figure of a white/grey color. The beads are antique and ancient shell, stone and glass some from the Americas and others, African trade. We made the hand woven cord, our finest, between each bead. The amateur images make the beads look somewhat yellow. They are crisp white with the one black and the one clear exceptions. Gorgeous.
One of a kind
Figurine: just under 1 x 5/8 x 3/8″
Necklace length, end of loop to coin closure. The shorter strand: 17.5″
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.
