Artisan made with love

Parallel rows of tiny crimson heishi beads run across the neckline, broken at regular intervals by small square brass stations, each centered with a round cabochon.

  • Material: Brass and copper alloy, clay heishi beads, glass seed beads
  • Stones: Reconstituted stone inlay
  • Color: Red, blue, aqua or black
  • Length: 18.5 in
  • Width: 0.375 in
  • Closure: Hook and loop
  • Origin: Nepal

The strands drape softly across the collarbone rather than sitting stiff, and the brass stations catch the light in small, regular flashes between the saturated color. Close up, the repoussé edging along each square resolves into fine hand-worked lines.
Details
  • Multiple parallel beaded strands
  • Hand-inlaid brass stations with repoussé edging
  • Hook-and-loop closure
  • Reconstituted stone cabochons
  • Available in turquoise, coral red, jet black, and cobalt blue

Because each necklace is assembled and inlaid by hand, bead spacing, stone placement, and color tone vary slightly from piece to piece.

The Story

The collar form comes from a Tibetan tradition of layered bead necklaces broken up by metal station beads rather than left as one uninterrupted strand. Multiple thin strands drape more naturally around the neck and collarbone than a single thick strand of the same visual weight, which is why the construction stayed in use long after cheaper materials became available.

The color palette references three stones long associated with Himalayan adornment: turquoise, coral, and lapis. Here they are reconstituted composites rather than solid natural gem, which keeps the color saturated and consistent across a multi-strand piece.

Each station is cast or cut in brass, hand-filed, and finished with repoussé line work before a cabochon of stone composite is pressed into the setting. A stringer then threads the heishi beads into parallel strands and knots each into the stations so the tension holds across all rows. The hook-and-loop closure is sized last so the collar sits flat rather than twisting when worn.

Craft & Care
  • Technique: Tibetan-style beaded collar with hand-inlaid brass stations

Wipe with a soft, dry cloth and store flat away from moisture, perfume, and lotion to protect the beads and inlay.

Questions

Are the stones natural turquoise, coral, and lapis?

No. The cabochons are reconstituted stone — crushed natural stone combined into a solid composite. It keeps the color consistent while referencing the traditional Himalayan stone palette.

What is the necklace made of?

Brass and copper alloy stations, clay heishi beads, glass seed beads, and reconstituted stone inlay.

How long is the necklace and is it adjustable?

It measures approximately 18.5 in with a hook-and-loop closure. It is not designed to be lengthened or shortened.

Is some variation normal?

Yes. Because the strands are cut, strung, and inlaid by hand, bead spacing and stone tone will differ slightly from the photos.

How should I care for it?

Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth after wearing and store it flat away from moisture, perfume, and lotion to protect the beads and inlay.
