Honeycomb Necklace - Pacific Blue
$90.00
Tagua seeds are carved and polished to create these perfectly carved hexagonal shapes. The chips are strung together to create a more geometric bib necklace and finished with a leather tie. Added effect comes from the contrasting hexagon.
The natural materials
are an amazing alternative
to common synthetic beads and are unlike anything ever used
before in the
fashion-forward jewellery industry. Artisans handcraft these designs from natural seeds
that
have been sustainably harvested from the rainforests and
lowlands of South
America. Through a
very manual process,
seeds are transformed into
beads with gorgeous natural irregularities, both in color and
form, which truly
makes each piece one of a kind.
The idea behind this collection is to bring great fashion-forward designs,
while
creating a greener planet, and providing a path out of poverty
for artisans
using fair trade principles. In addition to
being paid fair wages, the artisans share in the profits of the
company as
partial owners of The Andean Collection.
Size : Approx 45-62cm long. Bib is approx 15 x 6cm.
