About this Product
Bronze and shiny brown beads with light blue diamond pattern create this one-of-a-kind beaded necklace ending with decorative copper end caps, a bit of chain, and a copper toggle clasp for easy on and off.
This versatile necklace can be worn with or without the handmade lampwork focal bead on a silver bail that easily slides off.
Necklace features beaded Kumihimo braids with approximately 650-750 total beads ranging from multiple types of seed and glass to dyed stones arranged to form a unique, one-of-a-kind pattern.
This necklace is 18" in length and hangs down from neck to end of focal bead about 4 1/2".
Color, texture, and unusual designs inspire my work. I prefer my own style and direction, so strive to create pieces that are different from the norm or the fad of the moment. Many pieces are not symmetrical by choice. This one is symmetrical, but each side has different colored beads.
I use quality beads and findings, many purchased in the Czech Republic, makers of beautiful glass beads using centuries-old techniques.
Kumihimo is an ancient Japanese braiding technique that has been adapted to modern day. I use the basic concept to create my own style.

Shop Policies
Processing Time: My goal is to ship within 24-48 hours after purchase is complete during a regular business week; however, my dye studio is several hours from my home shop, so if I am there, my shipping time is longer. Please message me if you need something within a specific time.
If something is commissioned and special ordered, I will give the buyer an estimated time for shipping.
Return Policy: Contact me within 7 days of delivery
Ship items back within 21 days of delivery
I don't accept exchanges or cancellations (unless I haven't yet shipped), but please contact me if you have any problems with your order.
Conditions of return: Buyers are responsible for return shipping costs. If the item is not returned in its original condition, the buyer is responsible for any loss in value.
FAQ's:
Do I custom dye? Yes, I will gladly dye something for you. Because ice dyeing is very random and unpredictable, I cannot guarantee the outcome but I have many delighted customers.
