Stone & Clay: Handmade Necklace 1/2

Description

Natural clay and stone coloured handmade beads, finished with a co-ordinating silk cord.

Inspired By...

The bags of pottery clay from school, ranging from a deep red brown to elephant grey. There's something very earthy and natural about this palette which celebrates the beauty of the subtle.

Provenance

Made on the sofa of Seagreen & Blue founder, Eva, snuggling under a blanket with her cat and dreaming of spring and warmth.

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 2

Each made with a different configuration of beads so you can guarantee each one is 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.
