Subtle. Intriguing. Potentially Magical.
One of a kind.
Created in 2017. I have not been able to part with it until now due to the beauty and rarity of the two hand-carved stone beads.
Made with:
A large mottled grey-green stone bead shaped like a cylinder which could be many centuries old. Differences in the shape and size of the holes at either end suggest that the bead was drilled not once but twice, from each outer end toward the center. This is one indication of pre-modern drilling methods requiring many hours of effort.
A biconical carnelian bead in rich shades of orange and rust-red. Its age is unknown, but it might have originated in western India. It was definitely drilled twce - one from each end toward the center. The two holes just barely meet up in the center.
One of my sterling silver beaded beads stitched in a technique inpsired by contemporary beaded structures I collected in China.
An oxidized sterling silver chain finished with an oxidzed sterling silver lobster clasp.
Weght:
Light to medium.
Dimensions:
XXXXX
Additional Information:
I can shorten this necklace for no extra charge or lengthen it up to 3” for an additional $25.
I will do my best to sign the clasp.
