Statement chain "Urban Tribal" in 'Midnight' – hand-threaded pearl necklace in buying dark blue and black

Unique handmade necklace in dark blue and black – doesn't just do well at midnight! Depending on the incidence of light, the blue pearls shimmer under the matt black ones in the position above, giving the piece even more optical depth. The style of the necklace moves between historical Egyptian buying jewelry as worn by the pharaohs in illustrations and modern influences.

Elaborately handcrafted from matt black and blue Czech glass cut beads, blue coated black Czech formperlen, 2 mm large black Japanese Rocailles (very even seed beads made of high-quality glass), matt black, semi-transparent sword-shaped Czech Formperlen with blue coating and drop-shaped black Czech Formperlen. The piece is closed with a carabiner closure made of anti-allergenic stainless steel. Chain length variable (about 48 to 54 cm) and very well adaptable to your clothes and neckline. The statement chain is threaded on Fireline thread, a very stable yet movable special yarn that leaves the chain perfectly on the neck. Very comfortable to wear & lightweight (24g). The surface feels smooth and the piece almost flows through the hands. In any case, an eye-catcher.

Note: The whole piece is made of glass beads. The 'dagger beads', i.e. the beautiful sword-shaped ones at the bottom hem, can break if you drop the chain.

Since about 4000 years BC, people have been demonstrably making glass beads, and there is archaeological evidence of this. Ancient grave goods and historical finds also prove that glass beads are among the oldest pieces of jewelry of mankind and also had a high social value, including as currency. They represent the most important artificially produced pearls. Glass as a raw material has always fascinated people and certainly continues to do so today, considering the wonderful colours and shapes in which glass beads are now produced. We can draw here from an almost inexhaustible pool of possibilities.

There are various fascinating methods for pearl threading, all of which can only be carried out in tried and tested elaborate manual work, which of course require a lot of time and dexterity as well as a good eye. The techniques, such as the peyote stitch, have often developed independently of each other in various places in the world and are thus part of rich cultural techniques.

The jewelry comes to you in a small organza bag, which is also great to give away. Wherever possible, we recycle our packaging material to save waste, which means that the shipping bag and upholstery material used may have been reused by us.

All pieces in our etsy shop are etsy exclusive, which means that we do not take them to our craft markets.
