Ancient Egypt
Jewels has been seeking and collecting ancient faience beads from Egypt and Persia lately. They are so magical and gorgeous. These cultures created such marvelous objects of all sorts, but the faience carries something inexplicably special.
These beads, at first glance, are all similar in shape, rounder in form, but vary slightly highlighting its organic nature. We spaced them with our very finest hand woven cord which also protects these little gems.
We are showing it with another necklace of tiny ancient faience beads as the shapes and colors play beautifully off each other. (Shown on model)
One of a kind
Average bead: .25″
Necklace length: 26 7/8″
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.
