These glass African trade beads, made in Italy, are like candy. Remember the type? It is perfection the way jewels placed the beads, with superbly hand woven cord between each. Delicious.

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.
