DC-N103

A row of rounded gold beads swells from small at the shoulders to a broad, flattened oval at the throat, each one seated between tight knots of black cotton cord. The warm metal reads clean against the matte black.

  • Material: Base metal, antique gold finish
  • Length: 20 in
  • Finish: Antique gold
  • Origin: India
  • Cord: Black cotton
  • Beads: 15–28 mm

The scale reads as one clear shape from across a room, but up close the beads register individually — no two curves quite identical, no two highlights sitting the same way. Worn against a plain neckline, it becomes the one piece the eye settles on.
Details
  • Graduated bead sizing
  • Antique gold finish
  • Hand-knotted cotton cord
  • Sculptural choker silhouette

Each bead is shaped and finished by hand, so slight differences in color, texture and shape from one bead to the next are normal.

The Story

Graduated metal-bead necklaces — small at the nape, building to a wide bead at the throat — are a long-standing form in Indian metal jewelry. Beads are cast or shaped one at a time and strung by hand, so the rhythm of the piece is set by the maker rather than a machine.

The cord is not decorative filler. A knot sits between every bead, holding its position and controlling the spacing that builds the graduated curve. The black cotton reads as a design element in its own right against the warm metal.

The antique gold surface is a deliberate oxidized treatment rather than a bright polish, giving the metal a warm, slightly weathered tone. Each bead is finished by hand, which is why color and texture shift subtly from one bead to the next.

Craft & Care
  • Technique: Hand-strung metal beadwork

Store in a dry place away from water, perfume and harsh chemicals. Wipe gently with a soft cloth after wearing.

Questions

Is this real gold?

No. The beads are base metal with an antique gold finish, not solid or plated fine gold.

How long is the necklace?

Approximately 20 in, with beads ranging from 15 to 28 mm.

Will the beads tarnish or change color over time?

The antique finish is designed to look warm and slightly weathered from the start. Avoid water, perfume and harsh chemicals to keep it looking that way longer.

Is the cord adjustable?

No. It is fixed at approximately 20 in and designed to sit at the base of the neck.
