Description

Marbled and pure handmade beads, finished with a coordinating silk cord.

Inspired By...

Either 'Heather Shimmer' means something to you or you didn't go to secondary school in the 90s when you'd have been forgiven for thinking Rimmel's iconic lipstick was the only colour available. I didn't set out to make this but when the colour appeared out of the clay I recognised it instantly!

Provenance

Made on the sofa of Seagreen & Blue founder, Eva, while she had a 90s nostalgia trip. She needs more Heather Shimmer, Joop & Tammy Girl in her life

Seagreen & Blue Beads

Eva hand mixes polymer clay colours in small batches before weighing, rolling, piercing & stringing each individual bead. It's a long, slow process. But the results are beautiful.

Batch: 1 of 1

Just one of these made at a time so it's as original as you are.

Fastening

Finished with cord made from recycled sari-silk reclaimed from sari production and made into ribbon lengths in rural India using handmade traditional techniques by women's co-op groups. The ribbons are hand dyed so may have areas that are over or under-dyed, including 'speckles', giving a gorgeous vintage feel.

Using cord allows for you to fasten at the perfect length for you and your outfit, and is long enough for a dramatic bow to be tied at the back or side. Feeling less dramatic? Trim to the length you prefer.
