Three strands of hand-hammered nuggets fall in a deepening arc, anchored at each shoulder by a flared metal cap scored with a diamond motif. The copper tone glows on raised faces and settles darker in the recesses.

  • Material: Aluminum, brass and copper hardware
  • Length: 21.5 in
  • Closure: Hand-formed hook clasp
  • Finish: Antiqued copper-tone
  • Origin: India
  • Hardware: Brass and copper

Substantial across the collarbone without the weight solid metal would carry. The irregular beads catch light and shadow as the strands move. Best against a plain neckline that lets the layered nuggets and engraved caps hold the eye.

Details
  • Triple-strand design
  • Hand-textured nugget beads
  • Engraved cap terminals
  • Antiqued copper-tone finish
  • Hand-formed hook clasp

Each bead is individually shaped and finished by hand, so slight variations in texture, size and patina are part of the piece.

The Story

The composition follows a construction approach common to Indian metal jewelry: multi-strand nugget beads suspended from a pair of stamped cap terminals. The beads are hand-shaped from sheet and wire and hammered rather than cast, so no two surfaces read the same.

The flared caps are hand-engraved with a fine tool — diamond lattice and scalloped arc lines scored freehand into the metal. The antiqued finish is a deliberate treatment: oxidation darkens the recesses of the engraving so the pattern reads clearly against the brighter high points.

Craft & Care
  • Technique: Hand-textured, antiqued metal beadwork

Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth and store away from moisture to preserve the antiqued finish.

Questions

What is it made of?

Aluminum with an antiqued copper-tone finish, with brass and copper in the hardware and clasp.

How long is the necklace?

About 21.5 in, drape-style along the neckline.

Is it heavy to wear?

It has real presence across the collarbone, but the aluminum base keeps it lighter than a solid brass or copper piece of the same scale.

Will the beads look exactly like the photo?

Each bead is hand-shaped and finished, so texture, exact shape and patina will vary slightly piece to piece.

How should I care for the finish?

Keep it dry, avoid perfume and lotion contact, and wipe it down with a soft cloth after wear.
